Adding an Object Map Link item

Use the following steps to add a map of objects available in the portal to a page.

You must be logged on as a page owner or an authorized user with the appropriate page or item-level privileges to add items.

To add a file item to a page:

  1. Navigate to the page on which you want to add the item.

    Note: If you do not see the page that you want to work with, you may not have the appropriate page access privileges. See your page group administrator to gain access.

  2. Switch to Edit mode.

  3. Click in the region in which you want to add the item.

    Note: If (the add item icon) does not display next to the region, the region may be a portlet region (and may contain portlets). In this case, you cannot add items to this region.

  4. From the Built-In Navigation Item Types list, choose Object Map Link.

    Note: If this item type does not appear in the list, contact your page group administrator. Your administrator selects which item types to display here.

  5. Click Next.

  6. Select an Object Map Type.

  7. Enter the Display Name for the item.

    Note: Users click the display name to view the item. Make it as descriptive as possible.

  8. Enter the location of the image Icon. Use the first field to enter or browse for the image on your file system. This uploads the image into the portal. Alternatively, use the second field to enter the URL of an image, or reuse an image that has already been uploaded to the portal by entering its internal name (not file name) without a path, for example 1645.GIF.

  9. In the Image Alignment field, select an image alignment, if you specified an image for the item.

    Note: See Item image alignment for a description and example of the different image alignment options.

  10. Click Finish.
