This chapter contains the following topics:
WebCenter Spaces portals provide two arenas for the presentation of resources and information: a Space and the Home Space.
Spaces are typically used to create portals and communities that are scoped to a specific audience, for example, a specific division, department, project, or community.
The Home Space provides each user with a private work area for storing personal content, viewing and responding to business process assignments, maintaining a list of online buddies, and performing many other tasks relevant to his or her unique working day.
The WebCenter administrator will determine which users will be able to create Spaces based on the role and permissions assigned to each user.
Login into WebCenter Spaces using the user name and password provided to you. If you do not have user name and password, register yourself.
The user name for the portal you are using must match the user name for the EnterpriseOne environment that the portlets are running on.
E.g. If the user name and password for PY900 is AB1234, then the portal user name and password for the WebCenter/Collaborative Portal running PY900 portlets must be AB1234.
Note:
If WebCenter user name is not a valid E1 user name:Map WebCenter user name to E1 user name.
Launch P0092|W0092P from Fast Path.
Click Add.
Enter E1 user in EnterpriseOne UserID field, WebCenter user in Enterprise UserID field. Username must be entered in upper case even though the actual WebCenter user name has lower case characters.
These are the steps to create a Space:
Once you login to the WebCenter, click on the Spaces link which will display a menu of actions that can be performed on Spaces. Click on the Create a Space menu item.
Enter the name of your Space and click Next.
Select the level of access; either Public, Private, or Hidden, then click Next.
Select the type of template to be used. In this example, select the Portal Site template and click the Create button.
After the Space is created, click on the arrow to the right of the screen to access the drop down menu. Click Manage, and then click All Settings.
Click the Members tab. If people need to be added, click the Add People tab. For now, we will not be adding any members to the Space.
Select the General tab.
Fill the following details:
Display Name: Oracle Self Service Space
Description: Oracle Self Service Space
To add a logo to the work space, browse to the location of the logo.
Select the logo file and click Open.
Configure the other details. Set the Default Language and Site Template to Maximized, so that the Space will display the page with the logo we have chosen and will not have the default page settings. Set Copyright to add any copyrights to the page.
By default, Home and Settings pages will be available. Go back to the Home page. The following image shows the Home page. The Home page will have the instructions to Edit and Create pages as well as instructions to enable and disable services for this space. Select the down arrow, click Create, and then click Page.
The portal pages can be made available or unavailable by enabling/disabling the display of portal pages on the spaces.
To disable the display of the Home portal pages:
Click on the down arrow on the right of the screen and click Manage, and then click Pages, which will display the list of Portal pages on the current Spaces.
To disable a portal page, uncheck the Show page property for the corresponding portal page.
In this case, the Search and Activity Stream pages are unchecked:
WebCenter Spaces also provide a variety of page layouts (called styles) that can used to create different types of pages with different layouts. Page types may restrict the type of content that can be added to a page, such as text only, wiki only, blog only, and the like. Page layouts define the number of columns and content areas that define a page's geometry. Layouts are initially determined by the style that is selected while creating the page. Some page styles inherently allow switching to another page layout, such as wikis or blogs.
In addition to the layouts available through page styles, the user can create their own layouts using the layout components available through the Resource Catalog.
