Click to access the Manage WorkCenter Pages page.

Starting Page

Page Layout Options

Use these options to change the appearance and character of the WorkCenter page.

Changes that you make to the page layout options are visible after you save the page and click the Refresh button on your browser.

Field or Control	Description
Layout Template	Select a layout template from the list of all active page layout templates. The name of the default page layout template appears here when you create a new WorkCenter page.
Layout HTML Object	Select a custom layout, which you define in an HTML definition in PeopleSoft Application Designer. Only HTML definitions that begin with PTAL_LAYOUT_ appear in this prompt field.
Initial Size	Enter an integer between 200 and 9999 that determines the width of the pagelet area when the user initially accesses the WorkCenter page. The default value is 256.

Pagelet Groups

Use the fields in this scroll area to organize the pagelets in the pagelet area into tabbed groups.

Field or Control	Description
Group ID	Enter a value that identifies the group. Each value must be unique to the WorkCenter page and can contain no more the 20 characters. After you initially add this value, the field becomes display-only. This field is required.
Group Label	Enter a meaningful name of up to 20 mixed-case characters for the pagelet group. The label appears on a tab in the pagelet area and is visible to the user. This field is required.
Display Order	Enter a number between 0 and 999 to manually sequence the order in which the pagelet groups appear. This field is empty by default and pagelet groups appear in the same order as the row sort order in the Pagelet Groups scroll area. If you omit the Display Order value then the system considers it to be 0 and appear before groups for which the field contains a value.
Default	Select to display the group by default when the WorkCenter page is initially accessed. Only one group can be the default.

Note these points about pagelet groups:

If you create only one pagelet group, no tab appears to the user.
If you delete a pagelet group, the application deletes all subordinate pagelet data and personalizations.

Pagelets

Use the fields in this grid to assign the pagelets to the group.

Field or Control	Description
Pagelet Type	Select Template Pagelet or Homepage Pagelet. Note: Remote template pagelets cannot be imported and used with a WorkCenter.
Pagelet Name	Select the pagelet from a list of registered pagelets. Only registered pagelets appear in the list. A pagelet can be assigned to only one group on a WorkCenter page.
Select	Click the Select button and select the pagelet from the Pagelet Search page to add to the WorkCenter definition. See Searching for and Importing Pagelets and Tiles for more information on searching for pagelets on local and remote nodes.
Pagelet Label	Displays the label that appears in the pagelet header.
Display Order	Enter a number between 0 and 999 to specifically determine the position of the pagelets in the group. This field is empty by default and pagelet groups appear in the same order as the row sort order in the Pagelets grid. Pagelets for which you leave the Display Order field blank are considered to have a value of 0 and appear before groups for which the field contains a value.
Set Focus	Select to move the cursor to the pagelet when the user initially accesses the WorkCenter page. You can select this check box for only one pagelet in the same group.
Required	Select to prevent the application user from hiding the pagelet in the group. The user can still minimize the pagelet.
Initially Minimized	Select to display the pagelet in the minimized state when the user initially accesses the WorkCenter page.
