Managing pages

Manage Pages allows you to create, edit, activate, order, and delete pages as well as external Web pages and labels. Available tasks depend on which item is selected. Each page can contain multiple pages. All pages on which you have the User or greater role are displayed in a navigation menu. You must expand pages to access nested pages. The options that you see are dependent upon your access level.

• Selecting pages
  Pages that you can modify in Manage Pages appear as links in a table. By clicking on a link to select a page, you can navigate to other nested pages to perform page tasks. You can also select labels and URLs in Manage Pages.
• Creating pages
  A page displays content, such as portlets and other pages, in a single area. By creating pages, you can organize your information and add new navigational elements to the site.
• Creating a label
  Labels act as separators that organize groups of pages and URLs into categories. When you add a separator on the site, decide between creating a label or a page. You create a label instead of a page when you are only seeking an organizational solution and do not need to display content.
• Creating a URL
  You can create URLs to add external URLs to your portal navigation.
• Editing pages, labels, and URLs
  Page Properties allows you to modify settings or add new settings to existing pages, labels, and URLs. For example. you can use Page Properties to change the name, navigational layout, theme, page layout, supported markup, caching, and other advanced options of a page.
• Searching pages
  By selecting a search type in Manage Pages, you can quickly locate and work with pages, labels, or URLs.
• Ordering pages, labels, and URLs
  When you reorder items listed in Manage Pages, you are changing the order of pages, labels, and URLs on the site. You are also changing the order of entries in the main menu.
• Moving pages and labels
  You can move a page and its children to another location in the portal hierarchy from Manage Pages.
• Assigning access to pages, labels, and URLs
  
• Activating or deactivating a page, label, or URL
  You can toggle pages, labels, and URLs to be active or inactive. If you deactivate a resource, users are not able to access this inactive resource.
• 
  By deleting pages, labels, and URLs, you can remove content and change the site navigation.
• Exporting pages and labels
  Exporting allows you to create a response file so that the page or label and its child nodes can be imported into another portal server using the XML configuration interface.
• Set up Manage Pages
  You can configure default settings for Manage Pages. These defaults can be made on a global scale, applying to all instances of or on an individual basis, depending on which option you can select from the context menu.
