Field Descriptions

Page Type Properties

Field	Description
Base Page Type	Displays the name of the base page type on which the page type is based.
Name	Edit the name of the page type. The name is used internally only. Note: The name must be unique within the page group and the Shared Objects page group, is limited to 30 characters, and can contain only alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) and the underscore character (_); no spaces or other special characters.
Display Name	Edit the descriptive name of the page type. The display name is used in the Navigator and in the Create Page Page Type list, so shorter display names are better. Note: The display name is limited to 60 characters, and can contain any character, including spaces.
Description	Enter information about the page type that may be useful to others, such as its arguments, functionality, or usage. Note: The description is displayed only when editing the page type.
Icon	Enter the path and file name of an image to associate with the page type. Click Browse to locate the image if you are not sure of its path or file name. When you click Apply or OK, the file is uploaded to the database. Example: `C:\webart\listings.gif` Notes: To delete the existing image, click . Currently, this icon is not used by the portal. The icon may be used in future releases.
