Portlet Factory, Version 6.1.2
Overview: creating pages
Pages in IBM® WebSphere Portlet Factory models can be obtained from outside the model or created as you work in the model. Use one of the following methods:
- Import from existing HTML or JSP pages with the Imported Page builder.
- Create pages within the model with the Page builder.
Other builder calls can act on these pages and modify or add to the HTML controls that they display.

- Locating control builder calls on pages
Each page location technique results in the generation of a Page Location string that determines on what pages, and where on those pages, the control builder calls are added.
- HTML guidelines

The Data Page builder, along with the other builders that use Data Page, can automatically generate HTML for displayed pages. You can control the look and feel of the generated HTML by using Page Automation HTML Templates.
