Configuring a WorkCenter Page for a Classic-Only Activity Guide
Use the Configure WorkCenter task in the Setup Activity Guide WorkCenter to configure a WorkCenter page definition for a classic-only activity guide. You must use the Activity Guide Layout (PTAILAYOUT) WorkCenter template, which displays the pagelet area is on the left, and the target content area is on the right. In addition, the template displays an activity guide navigation frame above the target content area providing Next and Previous navigation buttons by default. You must also add the activity guide pagelet to the WorkCenter definition.
Important:
The Configure WorkCenter task is available for non-optimized activity guides only. However, while the Setup Activity Guide WorkCenter will present the option to generate a pagelet and configure a WorkCenter for all non-optimized activity guide templates, it should not be used for activity guide templates that include fluid components.
To configure a WorkCenter page for a classic-only activity guide, follow the standard WorkCenter development process:
-
Create a starting page for the WorkCenter that will display the activity guide pagelet.
-
If necessary, register any new components (and pages) in the portal.
-
Create the WorkCenter and designate its starting page. You can use any of the three options as the starting page:
-
Existing menu item.
-
Link of existing menu item
-
WorkCenter dashboard page.
-
-
Specify the Activity Guide Layout template as the layout template for this WorkCenter page.
Important:
If the Activity Guide Layout template is not used, then the activity guide navigation frame will not be displayed above the target content area and action item statuses will not be updated in the activity guide pagelet.
-
Add the activity guide pagelet to the WorkCenter pagelet area.
Important:
Do not configure a remote activity guide pagelet for use in a WorkCenter defined on the local node. Instead, define both the WorkCenter and activity guide pagelet on the remote node. Then, using unified navigation or another mechanism, access the content reference for the remote WorkCenter from the local node.
After you have configured the WorkCenter for the activity guide, you can update the template’s Target URL property. See Defining Activity Guide Template Properties for more information.
