Preface

Welcome to Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Portal: Spaces. This guide describes the runtime behavior of the Spaces application. Much of this information also applies to WebCenter Portal: Framework applications, though it is written with Spaces application users in mind. (For information about WebCenter Portal: Framework applications, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Portal.)

This guide provides instructions for such tasks as creating a company, team, or departmental portal; creating, populating, and managing portal pages; and working with services and portlets.

Note:

This guide depicts the application user interface (UI) in screenshots. Users can apply different templates to the application UI to adjust its look and feel; therefore, your view of the application may differ somewhat from the views depicted in screenshots.

Audience

This document is intended for WebCenter Portal: Spaces application users who are interested in creating online communities centering around a group project or a shared area of interest. It is also intended for business developers interested in creating enterprise mashups through runtime component wiring.
