Adding a component to a page

Related topics

After you create an Oracle Portal application, you can easily access one or more of its components from a page.

The steps to add a component to page vary slightly depending on whether you want the component to be visible to all users of the page, or just yourself.

Note

To access a component from a page, you must have the Manage or Publish privilege for All Providers. In addition, the application itself must be exposed as a provider, and the component must be published to the portal (both are done on the Access tab).

To add a component to the default version of a page:

  1. If you are in the Create Page Wizard, make sure you are at the Add Portlets step (step 3 of 4).

    If you are already on the page, at the top of the page click Edit Page.

    Otherwise, access the Navigator, navigate to the page you want to work on, then click Edit.

  2. In the region where you want to add the component, click Add Portlets.

  3. Click Portlet Repository in the path at the bottom of the Available Portlets list to navigate to the root folder of the Portlet Repository, if necessary.

  4. Under Other Providers, click the name of the application that owns the component you want to add to the page.

  5. Click the component name.

    Note: To see a preview of the component before adding it to your page, click Preview next to the component name.

  6. Click OK to return to the Portlets tab.

  7. Click Close or Finish to display the page or return to the Navigator.

To add a component to your own version of a page:

  1. If you are already on the page, at the top of the page click Customize.

    Otherwise, access the Navigator, navigate to the page you want to work on, then click Customize.

  2. In the region where you want to add the component, click Add Portlets.

  3. Click Portlet Repository in the path at the bottom of the Available Portlets list to navigate to the root folder of the Portlet Repository, if necessary.

  4. Under Other Providers, click the name of the application that owns the component you want to add to the page.

  5. Click the component name.

    Note: To see a preview of the component before adding it to your page, click Preview next to the component name.

  6. Click OK to return to Customize Page.

  7. Click Close to display the page or return to the Navigator.
