Create Page

Use the Create Page wizard to create a new page in the current portal, automatically adding it to the portal navigation.

The Create Page wizard includes the following pages:

Select a Style

The Select a Style page of the Create Page wizard enables you to select a style for the new page that describes the layout and may also dictate the type of content the page supports. More

Page Information

The Page Information page of the Create Page wizard enables you to enter a page name and optional description and keywords.

Element Description

Element	Description
Title	Enter a suitable name for the page. The name that you enter here displays at the top of the page and other places where pages are available for selection, such as in the page navigation for the portal. If you enter a name that duplicates an existing page name, WebCenter Portal automatically adds a numeric suffix to the page name and creates the new page with the modified name. For example, if `MyPage` exists, and you try to create a new page named `MyPage`, the new page will be created with the name `MyPage1`. For wiki pages, the following characters may not be used in the page name: ? \ / : [ ] * ' " \| For wiki page names, you can use letters, numbers, character spaces, and periods (.).
Description	Optionally, enter a short description explaining the purpose or objective of the page.
Keywords	Optionally, enter keywords related to the content of the page to make it more easily discoverable in search results.

If you do not edit page parameters in the Create Page wizard at this time, you can do so later in the portal editor. More

For example, the built-in Blog page style includes the following parameters with default values:

Access

The Access page of the Create Page wizard enables you to establish the permissions for other users, groups, and roles to work with the selected page.

Note:

You can override the default page security to create a page that does not take the permissions from the portal roles, but instead allows custom scenarios to be set up where you can control who can see the page, who can edit it, who can create subpages, and so on. If you do not set security in the Create Page wizard at this time, you can set it later in the portal editor. More
