Notes

To copy the page group home page, click Copy Root Page next to the page group in the Navigator.
You cannot copy personal pages.
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.
