Managing Fluid Homepages

This section discusses these topics:

• Accessing the personalization page.

• Showing or hiding the Notifications panel.

• Adding a fluid homepage.

• Deleting a fluid homepage.

Accessing the Personalize Homepage Page

Use the Personalize Homepage page to manage your fluid homepages:

1. Navigate to any fluid homepage.

2. Select the Actions menu.

3. Select Personalize Homepage.

This example illustrates the options on the Personalize Homepage page, used for personalizing the content on a fluid homepage.

Administrators can disable end-user personalization on any homepage or dashboard. Homepages where end-user personalization is disabled are considered locked, that is, you cannot rename the homepage, add tiles to the homepage, move tiles to other homepages, and delete tiles. You can, however, reorder your homepages on the left panel. In this release, sectionalized homepages and dashboards do not allow end-user personalization.

In previous releases, you could re-order tiles directly on a homepage or dashboard, but from PeopleTools 8.61, you can personalize a homepage or dashboard only through the Personalize Homepage or Personalize Dashboard page.

Note:

The labels of system-defined homepages and dashboards are translatable; however, personalized labels of homepages and dashboards are not translatable—this applies to personal fluid homepages as well as the personalized labels of fluid homepages, fluid dashboards, classic homepages, and classic dashboards.

Showing or Hiding the Notifications Panel

To show or hide the Notifications panel:

1. From any fluid homepage, select Personalize Homepage in the Actions menu.

2. Select the desired Show Notifications Panel option.

   Note:

   The Notifications panel is displayed by default on fluid homepages unless this setting has been configured differently on your system.

3. Click Save.

Adding a Fluid Homepage

To add a homepage:

1. On the Personalize Homepage page, click the Add Homepage button.

   Use the Add Homepage page to create new personal homepages or add system-defined homepages.

   

2. On the Add Homepage page, do one of the following:

   • Enter the name of your new personal homepage in the Create a New Homepage edit box, and click Add.

     Note:

     The system imposes a limit of 10 personal homepages.

   • Select a system-defined homepage from the list of available homepages.

3. Click Save in the Personalize Homepage header.

Deleting a Fluid Homepage

To delete a homepage:

1. On the Personalize Homepage page, locate the homepage in the left panel.

   The Delete button is not available on homepages that are disabled for end-user personalization.
