What is a page?

Related topics

In Oracle Portal terms, a portal is a set of information--content areas, pages, applications, even data from outside sources--brought together in one central location and accessed through a common interface. This interface is called a page. In other words, a page is the face of the portal; what users see and use to interact with the content of the portal. A page creator makes four key decisions when creating a page: How many regions the page will contain and how they are arranged, also known as the page's layout. What content (or portlets) will appear within the regions. What colors and fonts will be used to render the page, called the page style. Who may interact with the page, and to what level. Each time you display a portal page, it is dynamically assembled and formatted according to the portlets and layout chosen for that page, thus ensuring access to the very latest information. Editing a portal page involves changing the layout--that is, adding or removing regions--changing the portlets displayed within the regions, or changing the page style. In essence, many versions of the same page can exist simultaneously. If you are the page creator, you control the extent to which individual users may modify your page. You may want some users to be able to modify the version of the page that everyone else sees, while others may make changes that are visible only to themselves.
