Field Descriptions

Page Properties

Field	Description
Page Type	Displays the page type. The page type is specified when the page is created and cannot be changed. OracleAS Portal provides a number of page types by default: Standard pages display portlets and items. Mobile pages display portlets and items. Mobile pages provide a way to design pages specifically for displaying in mobile devices, such as cell phones. Standard pages can also be displayed in mobile devices, however the standard page design environment is more suited to creating pages for larger display devices, such as PC monitors. URL pages display the contents of a specified URL. PL/SQL pages display the results of executing PL/SQL code. JSP pages display Java Server Pages (JSPs). Navigation Pages are a special type of page that enables you to provide standard navigational objects across multiple pages. Pages may also be of custom page types. Note: The page group administrator may choose to prevent certain types of pages being created in the page group.
Name	Enter a name for this page to be used in instances when it is viewed outside of OracleAS Portal, for example, when it is viewed through a WebDAV client. This name is case sensitive. OracleAS Portal also uses this name in the formation of direct access URLs (see the Notes section, towards the end of this topic.) Note: The name must be unique within the page group. The name is limited to 40 characters, and can include alphanumeric characters (A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9), spaces, and the following special characters: _ - . , ; ! = ~ @ ( ) [ ] { } ^ $ +
Display Name	Edit the display name, which identifies the page to other users. This is the name that is displayed in the Navigator. Note: The name is limited to 40 characters.
Description	Edit the description, which provides information that might be useful to others who edit the page. The description must not exceed 2000 characters, and is displayed only when editing the page, not when viewing the page.
required attributes	If the page is based on a custom page type that has additional, required attributes, those attributes are also included in this section.

Page Caching

Field	Description
Cache Page Definition Only	Creates a cached copy of the page definition only. For more information see Page caching options.
Cache Page Definition And Content For [ ] Minutes	Creates a cached copy of the page definition, and caches the assembled page's content, including the rendered content of all portlets, for a specified period of time. For more information see Page caching options.
Cache Page Definition Only at System Level	Creates a single cached copy of the page definition for all users. The page definition will be the same for all users. For more information see Page caching options.
Cache Page Definition And Content at System Level for [ ] Minutes	Creates a single cached copy of the page definition for all users, and caches the assembled page's content at the system level, including the rendered content of all portlets, for a specified period of time. This is called expiry-based caching. For more information see Page caching options.
Don't Cache	Disables page caching. For more information see Page caching options.

Notes

The name you enter into the Name field is used in the formation of direct access (or "pretty") URLs. OracleAS Portal checks the name for uniqueness and appends a number in cases where another object at the same level in the OracleAS Portal hierarchy has the same name.
For example, in a page group, you have two sub-pages, each one level below the root page. Both have the same Name, but with varying capitalization, such as MyPage and mypage. When OracleAS Portal prepares the Name for use in a direct access URL, it may set one as MYPAGE, and the other MYPAGE1.

To determine the name OracleAS Portal will use for direct access URLs, add an item to the page, and look at the name given to the page in the Item Wizard's Path information.
