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 computer monitors.
To
create a page, you must have at least one of the following privileges:
Manage All privileges on the page group in which you want to create the page
Manage global privileges on All Pages
Create global privileges on All Pages and Manage privileges on the parent page of the new page
You can create mobile pages only if the mobile page design global setting is enabled.
In the Navigator, click Contents next to the page group in which you want to create the page.
Click Create in the Pages row.
Tip: If you want to create the page as a sub-page of another page, click Create next to the page under which you want to create the new Mobile page.
In the Page Type list, choose Mobile.
Note: If Mobile is not included in this list, the mobile page design global setting is not enabled, or the Mobile page type has been excluded from the page group.
In the Name field, enter a name for the page.
Note: The name is used internally and for direct access URLs. The name is limited to 40 characters and can contain only alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) and the underscore (_) character. Do not use spaces or other special characters.
In the Display Name field, enter a descriptive name for the page.
Note: The display name is limited to 40 characters.
(Optional) In the Description field, enter a description for the page. The description is displayed only when you edit the page. It does not appear to the user.
Note: The description can contain up to 2000 characters.
Select a page caching option.
Notes:
Caching at the system level places a single copy of the page's structure (or structure and content) in the system cache for all users. Consequently, all page customization options are disabled.
For more information about page caching, see Changing how a page is cached.
Click Next.
Select:
Blank Page to create a blank mobile page.
Base On Existing Page to prepopulate the mobile page with the same content as an existing page.
Click
next to the Existing page
field and select the page to use as the starting point for your
mobile page from the list provided.
Note: You can only base a mobile page on a Standard page. If you want to create a new mobile page based on an existing mobile page, copy the mobile page, then edit the copy.
Click Next.
(Optional) Select Display Page To Public Users if you want everyone, including users who are not logged into the portal, to be able to view the page.
(Optional) To explicitly grant privileges to specific users or groups:
In the Grantee field, enter the name of the user or group that you want to allow to access this page.
Tip: If you are not sure of
the name of the user or group, click
(for users) or
(for groups), and select from the list provided.
In the list, choose a privilege level.
Note: Just because one privilege appears before another in the list does not mean that the privilege implies all other privileges below it. For more information, see Page privileges.
Click Add.
Tip: If you want to grant a user or group multiple privileges, for example Manage Content and Manage Style, add the user or group separately for each privilege.
Notes: If you based your mobile page on an existing page, the new page uses the same access settings as the existing page. You can change these settings later. Privileges that do not make sense for mobile pages are converted as follows:
Manage Items With Approval becomes Manage Content
Manage Style becomes Customize Portlets (Full)
Customization (Style) becomes View
Click Finish to create the page and return to the Navigator.
Note: If you based your mobile page on an existing page, and the existing page is complex, the page creation process may take a while as the existing page is converted into a layout more suited for display on mobile devices. When you click the Finish button, you are given the opportunity of continuing the page creation process in the background so that you can move on to other tasks. If you attempt to edit the mobile page before the creation is completed, a pop up window will inform you that the page is not yet complete.
If you base your mobile page on an existing standard page, the layout of the existing page is flattened so that it is more suitable for display on mobile devices:
The standard page is examined and its regions are arranged in a logical order
The mobile content in these regions is copied over into the single region of the new mobile page. Non-mobile content is not copied over to the new mobile page.
The portlet customizations on the mobile portlets are shared between the standard page and the mobile page. This means that any customizations made to either page affect the other page. For example, if a user customizes a stock portlet on a page with a specific portfolio, and that page was used as the initial content for a mobile page, then the user will see the same customizations on the mobile page. Even though the portlets are shared, they will not be listed in the Portlet Repository.
Any tabs on the standard page are converted into levels on the new mobile page.
The access control settings on the standard page are copied to the new mobile page. You can edit the mobile page to change these settings later. Privileges that do not make sense for mobile pages are converted as follows:
Manage Items With Approval becomes Manage Content
Manage Style becomes Customize Portlets (Full)
Customization (Style) becomes View
New portlets are not implicitly shared between a mobile page and the page on which it was based. If you add a portlet to a page that was used as the starting point for a mobile page, that portlet will not appear on the mobile page. If you want the portlet to also appear on the mobile page, you must add it to the mobile page. Additionally, if you want to share any customizations made to the portlet between the two pages, you must explicitly share the portlet on one page, and then add that shared portlet instance to the other page.
Because OID can include multiple containers that can use the same group names, the distinguished name (DN) is displayed next to any group that does not belong to the local Portal instance.
