Set the Primary Book on a Desktop

The primary book is the main visual and navigational infrastructure for a particular desktop view of a portal. When you add a book to the portal you are actually adding it to a desktop view of the portal. You can also add a book to a book.

To set the primary book on a desktop:

1. In the Portals folder, navigate to the desktop to which you want to set the primary book.

   Note: If you don't see the right desktop in the Portals folder, make sure you have selected the right Web Application. To change to a different Web application, select a new one in the Portal Web Application pull-down menu above the Portal Resources tree.

2. In the Desktop Properties tab in the Editor pane, use the Primary Book pull-down menu to select a book.
3. Click Save.

You can now add pages to your book.
