Adding a list of the folders you own to a page

If you own one or more folders in an Oracle Portal content area, you can easily access them right from your home page--or from any page, as long as you have the authority to add a portlet to that page.

To add a list of the folders you own to a page:

  1. If you are already on the page you want to work on, 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 your folders, 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 Seeded Providers, click Portal Content Area.

  5. Click User Owned Folders.

    User Owned Folders should now be included in the Selected Portlets list.

  6. Click OK to return to Customize Page.

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

  8. If you are in the Navigator, click the page name to display the page.

  9. In the User Owned Folder portlet's header, click Customize.

  10. Change the name of the portlet, if desired, in the Display Name field. For example, you might want to change the portlet header to My Folders.

  11. In the Number Of Folders field, enter the number of folders you want to display, or leave the field blank to display all the folders you own.

  12. In the Order By list, choose Display Name to order the folders alphabetically from A to Z, or Creation Date to order them from the most recently created to those created the earliest.

    Note: Even if you order by creation date, the names of the folders will appear in the portlet, rather than the date.

  13. Click OK to return to the page.
