All-In-One Portal

The all-in-one portal is used for low volume objects, where a small number of records are expected.

For example, many control tables use this style of portal. In this portal, rather than separate query and maintenance portals, a single portal allows a user to find a record and maintain the record. A zone listing all existing records is displayed when first entering the portal. A user can perform actions on existing records or add new records from there. More details about the list zone are provided below.

Refer to Maintenance Portal for information about zones commonly found on maintenance portals.

The all-in-one portal will typically provide the ability to add a new record. This may be a button in the Page Action area or a hyperlink defined directly on the list zone's header area.

List Zone

This info zone appears when first entering the portal and displays a row for each record.

The following functions are commonly available in a list zone:
  • A broadcast icon is included in each row. Clicking this icon opens other zones that contain more information about the adjacent record.
  • An Edit icon may be included in each row. Clicking this icon launches the maintenance BPA script to modify the adjacent record.
  • A Duplicate icon may be included in each row allowing the user to duplicate the adjacent record without having to first display the record.
  • A Delete icon may be included in each row allowing the user to delete the adjacent record without having to first display the record.
  • If the record has a simple BO lifecycle of Active and Inactive, the list zone may include a button to Activate or Deactivate the adjacent record.
