Creating an Experience Definition to Display Adaptive Page
Layouts
Adaptive layouts let
you quickly change the look and feel of areas in the portal user interface
using adaptive tags in standard XHTML. Adaptive layouts are displayed
in the portal through remote portlet web services. Adaptive page layouts
are applied at the experience definition level and affect the entire
experience definition. Adaptive portlet layouts are applied at
the My Page and community page level and affect only that page.
Before you create an experience definition that displays adaptive
page layouts, you must:
- Create any custom adaptive page layouts you want to use
- Create remote portlet web services for the custom adaptive page
layouts
- Create the guest user you want to associate with the experience
definition
- Create any header and footer portlets you want to use to brand
the experience definition
To create an experience definition that displays adaptive page
layouts you must have the following rights and privileges:
- Access Administration activity right
- Create Experience Definitions activity right
- At least Edit access to the parent folder (the folder that will
store the experience)
- At least Select access to the remote portlet web services for
the adaptive page layouts
- At least Select access to the guest user you want to associate
with the experience definition
- At least Select access to any header and footer portlets you want
to add to the experience definition
- Click Administration.
- Open the folder in which you want to store the experience
definition.
Tip: You might
want to store all of the resources needed by a particular audience
of users in the same folder in which you store those users. By securing
the folder appropriately and applying experience definition settings
to it you can create completely separate and discreet user experiences
for each audience of users.
- In the Create Object drop-down list,
click Experience Definition.

definition (on the Security page of the Experience
Definition Editor).
