Page Properties

Field Description
Page Type

Choose:

  • Standard to create a page that displays portlets and items.
  • Mobile to create a page that displays portlets and items. Mobile pages provide a way to design pages specifically for display 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.

Note: You can create mobile pages only if the mobile page design global setting is enabled.

  • URL to create a page that displays the contents of a particular URL.
  • PL/SQL to create a page that displays the results of executing PL/SQL code.
  • JSP to create a page that displays the results of executing a Java Server Page (JSP).

Note: You can create JSP pages only if the JSP access page group setting is enabled.

This list also includes any custom page types that have been included in the page group where you are creating the page.

Notes:

  • The page group administrator may prevent certain types of pages being created in the page group.
  • Once you have chosen a page type and moved on to the next step of the Create Page Wizard, you cannot change the page type. If you need to change the page type, you should click Cancel and create a new page.
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. (See also, 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

Enter a display name to identify the page to other users. This is the name that is displayed in the Navigator.

Note: The display name is limited to 40 characters.

Description Enter any information that you think would be useful to others who edit the page. The description, which must not exceed 2000 characters, is displayed only when editing the page, not when viewing the page.
Navigation Page For Banner

Choose a navigation page to use as a banner for the page. The navigation page is added as a portlet to a region across the top of the page, so be sure to choose a navigation page that fits appropriately.

Notes:

  • This list includes all the navigation pages in this page group and the shared objects page group.
  • This list is available only if the page is a Standard page, or is of a custom page type based on the Standard page type.
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.
