Use the Publish System Homepage page (PTPHP_PUBLISHHP) to publish an administrator created or personalized homepage as a new fluid homepage.

Navigation:

  1. View the personalized fluid homepage that you want to publish as a new fluid homepage.

  2. From the Actions menu, select Publish Homepage.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Publish System Homepage page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Publish System Homepage page

Source Homepage Definition

Field or Control Description

Portal

Select the portal registry in which this definition is stored. The current portal name is displayed by default.

Homepage

Displays the ID of the copied homepage definition.

New Homepage Definition

Field or Control Description

Name

Enter a unique ID for the homepage definition.

The value that you specify in the Name field can consist of up to 50 letters, digits, and underscores ( _ ). It cannot contain any spaces and cannot begin with a digit.

Label

Enter the label that users will see for the homepage.

Long Description

Enter a long description for the homepage definition.

Sequence number

Enter a value to designate the order of the homepage when multiple homepages are defined.

The sequence number determines the order in which the homepages appear. The homepages appear with the lowest sequence number first. If any numbers are identical, then the order is alphanumeric. No value is equivalent to specifying 0.

Important: Therefore, the homepage with the lowest sequence number becomes the default homepage.

Object Owner ID

Select the object owner ID.

Product

Portal-aware applications can use this field for group processing. All PeopleTools objects have the product name PT.

Valid From Date

Select or enter the date that the homepage becomes visible to users.

Valid to Date

Select or enter an optional date that the homepage is removed from use.

Disable End User Personalizations

Select to disable end-user personalizations for the homepage.

When you select this check box, the Allow rename check box is automatically unavailable for entry because modifying the homepage label is an end-user personalization.

For more information on using this check box, see (Fluid only) Disabling User Personalization for Homepages.

Allow rename

Select to enable the user to personalize the homepage label.

Note: When a portal administrator updates the label for a fluid homepage or a fluid dashboard, the PeopleSoft system propagates the new label to homepages or dashboards that have not been personalized and to personalized homepages or dashboards that also retain the original label. If a user has personalized the label, then the user's personalization is retained.
