Creating labels and pages
Labels and pages are containers that hold views. You create a label
to group a set of pages, or you can directly create pages on the root of My
Portal.
You need to plan the structure of your dashboards: the number of pages
and their contents. In this exercise, you will create one label and one page.
To create a label and a page, complete the following steps:
- Log in to WebSphere® Portal with
an Administrator user ID and password. The WebSphere Portal Welcome page opens.
- Go to the Administration tab.
- Click Portal User Interface, and then Manage
Pages. The Manage Pages page
opens.
- Click My Portal, and then Add Label. The Page Properties page opens.
- In the Title field, type the label title Business
Performance Dashboards, and then click OK. An information message confirms the successful creation of the
label.
- The Pages in my Portal now shows the new
label, Business Performance Dashboards. Click it, and
then click Add Label. The Page Properties page
opens.
- In the Title field, type the portal page
title Order Processing, and click OK. An information message confirms the successful creation of the
page.
Now that you have created the label and the portal page, you are ready
to begin adding portlets (views) to them.
