Choosing a default group

Related topics

When you use Oracle Portal, it's likely that your portal administrator will have determined the groups to which you belong, as well as your default group. The default group determines, among other things, your home page. Specifically:

  • If you have specified a personal home page, either in Account Info or in the Navigator, that page is displayed when you first log on to Oracle Portal.

  • If you have not selected a personal home page, but you belong to a default group, the home page specified for that group is displayed.

Default groups also determine your default page style. That is, if you do not select your own default page style, the default page style chosen for your default group is used. (If no default page style has been chosen for the group, the system default page style is used, which is determined by the portal administrator.)

You can change your default group at any time.

To select a default group:

  1. Click the Account Info link in the upper right corner of your screen.

    The Edit Account Information page is displayed

    Note: If your portal administrator chooses to remove this link, you will not be able to change your default group.

  2. Click the Preferences tab.

  3. In the Default Group field, click , then select the group you'd like to designate as your default.

    Only the groups of which you are a member appear in this list, which prevents you from selecting a default group to which you do not belong.

  4. Click OK.
