Create a My Workplace page
As a site administrator, you can create My Workplace pages where users can access frequently
used application tools or external websites. You can make a page available to all users, or you can limit access to specific pages.
To create a new page
- Navigate to Site Preferences > My Workplace > Pages.
- If needed, click Registered Portlets in the sidebar to register additional portlets. See Registered portlets.
- Click Pages in the sidebar to display the defined pages.
- Click Add New.
- Specify a name for the page and, optionally, a description.
- Click Design Page to open the Design Page Layout, which you use to define the content
and layout of the new page.
- In the list of Available Portlets, click Add
to Layout below the name of the portlet that you want to add
to this page.
- In the Create Title window, you can optionally specify an alias for the portlet. The alias is displayed in the portlet
toolbar.
- Click Accept (even if you did not
enter an alias). The portlet name is added to the left column of the Page Layout section.
- Repeat steps a - c as needed to add all desired portlets. You can
add the same portlet more than once if needed. For example, you can
use two Browse portlets to view the contents of two different folders.
- If needed, change the Left Column Width.
The default is 50%.
- As needed, move portlets to the left or right column. You can use the Ctrl and Shift keys to select multiple items in the list. Use the appropriate icons to move an item to the right or left column.
- As needed, move portlets up or down within a column. You can use the Ctrl and Shift keys to select multiple items in the list. Use the appropriate icons to move an item up or down in the list.
- To change the name of a portlet in the list, select the portlet
name and click the Edit icon.
Type a new alias and
save your change.
- Click Select access roles to define which
users can access this page. The Select Access Roles page opens. By default, all users can access
the page unless you limit access.
- Select one or more access roles from the list.
- Click Accept.
- If you need to delete any access roles, click Remove for the access role.
- When you are satisfied with your page layout and access settings, click Accept.
- Save the new page design settings.
- Click Preview and Setup to configure the page.
- Click Edit for each portlet that you need
to configure.
- Configure the settings for the portlet. For more information, see Edit portlet settings.
- Save your changes.
Repeat this step as needed for each portlet in the page. Close the preview when you are finished.
- Save your page setting changes and close the Site Preferences page.
