Displaying items by group

Related topics
You can have your items displayed by groups in the folder region. For example, items can be grouped by category, author, date, item type, and provider name; for example, Oracle Portal.
	You must be logged on as the style administrator or creator of the style to perform this task. Be careful when changing the style applied to the folder since any changes affect the appearance of all other folders and navigation bars using that style.

To display items by group:

Note: If you are already in the folder in which you want to work with, click Folder Style on the folder dashboard and continue from step 4. In the Navigator, click the Content Areas tab. Navigate to Path: Content Areas > Name of Content Area > Styles. In the Actions column, click Edit next to the style you want to work with to display the Style Manager. Click the Folder Layout tab. Click beside any region in the region layout diagram to edit its properties, including the default region names (i.e. Quickpicks, News, Regular items, etc.). The Style Manager (Edit Region): Item or Sub-folder page appears. In the Region Content Properties section, for the Group By list, choose how you want the items in this region to display. Group By Description Category Group items under their respective category banner. This is the default. Author Group items by their author. Date Group items by their creation date. Item Type Group items by their item type. Example: File, Text, Image, and so on. Provider Name Name of the registered Oracle Portal provider. Example: iSyndicate None Do not group items. Click Apply and continue working and click OK when you are done. The folder region layout is modified with your changes.

Note

Item attributes such as Author, Description, Expiration Date, Image, New Item Indicator, and so on are displayed in the folder area only if they were chosen to display. For more information, see Choosing item attributes to display in a folder region.
