Bookshelf v7.5: Creating a Root-Level Page

Creating a Root-Level Page

The root-level pages are those pages that appear at the top of the Page Administration Explorer tree. Typically only a few employees should have the responsibilities required to access the Portal Screen Administration view where root-level pages can be created.

In general, you will want to have a screen tab for each of the root-level pages. You can use Siebel Tools to create a screen tab for a new root-level page. For information, see the page tabs topic in Siebel Tools Reference.

Best practice is to standardize on a limited number of these pages in order to keep the top root-level of the explorer tree uncluttered and to restrict the number of screen tabs in the application.

To create a root-level page

From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Microsite Management (or Administration) > Portal Screen Administration.

In the Portal Screen list, add a new record and complete the necessary fields.

Some fields are described in the following table.


Field	Description
Screen	Name for the root-level page.
Default View Name	Determines the Siebel view that the page is based on. For information about how to create new views, see Siebel Tools Reference. The view that determines the Web template used by this page.
Access Groups	Use this field to restrict read and read-write (select Editor field) access to this page. If this field is blank there are no restrictions on who can view and edit this page, provided they have the view responsibilities for the template view and the Page Designer view. If no editor is specified, all the access groups can edit this page.
Order	Determines the sequence of the page at the top level of the Page Administration Explorer tree.
Inactive	If the root-level page is inactive: The root-level page and its child pages do not appear in the Page Administration view The page is not displayed in the application
