Choosing a home page

Related topics

Your home page is the first page displayed when you log in to Oracle Portal, or when you click in the page banner. The logic for determining your home page is as follows:

  • If you have specified a personal home page, that page is displayed.

  • 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.

  • If there is no default home page for your default group, the system default page is displayed, which is determined by your portal administrator.

Your home page appears in bold in the Navigator. If the page appears in My Pages, Top-Level Pages, and Personal Pages, it is bolded in all three places.

To specify your home page:

  1. Access the Navigator and click the Pages tab.

  2. If you're not already at the top level, click Pages in the Path.

  3. Click Top-Level Pages, My Pages, or Personal Pages, depending on where the page resides. If the page resides in two or more of these areas, it doesn't matter which one you use.

  4. To select a page as your default, click Make Default in the Actions column.

    The next time you log on, the page you've selected will be displayed. In addition, the page now appears in bold in the Navigator.

    If you want to restore the home page that was originally selected as the default by your portal administrator, click Reset Default.

Note

  • You can also change your home page by clicking the Account Info in the upper right corner of certain Oracle Portal pages, then clicking the Preferences tab. However, this link may not always be available to you, as your portal administrator can remove it at any time.

  • If you are a portal administrator, you can change a user's default home page in the User portlet on the Administer tab.
