Page Templates

Use the Page Templates page to manage page templates for all portals (if accessed through the Shared Assets page) or for the current portal (if accessed through the Assets page). More

Every page in a portal has an associated page template that defines the structure and layout of the entire page. All pages in a portal use the same page template, set as the default by the portal manager. This ensures that all pages in a portal look and behave consistently. More

Only users with the application-level permission Create, Edit, and Delete Page Templates can manage shared page templates. Users with the portal-level permission Create, Edit, and Delete Assets (standard permissions model) or Create, Edit, and Delete Page Templates (advanced permissions model) can manage portal-level page templates.
