Reusing Existing Content

Content that is on a shared layout is available for use on other layouts. Content can be used on a single layout only once but can be used on multiple layouts. After you embed existing content on the working layout, it no longer appears in the open existing list for that layout.

You access reusable content by clicking the Open Existing Content icon. From the content palette, you can click on the desired content and drag and drop the content onto the workspace layout.

The palette shows each layout by layout name and whether the layout is a personal layout or a shared layout. Personal layouts are viewable only to the user who created them. Personal layouts are listed first and then shared layouts. Each layout is highlighted in blue. The content for each layout appears under the layout name. Within a layout, the content is grouped by content type, with all web page URL content listed first, then all OBIEE object content, and then all EnterpriseOne Form content. Within each content type, the content is listed alphabetically by the name that was entered in the Name field when content was created. The description that is entered when the content was created appears on the palette under the content name (this description is the name of the content frame on the Composite Application Framework). The date and time that the content was created is also listed. You can use any content that is listed on the palette, even if you did not create that content.
