Notes

If you just created a new folder, skip to step 4. If you are in the folder you want to edit, click the Edit folder link located on the main banner to switch to Edit mode and continue from step 6. 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 choose another page to apply to the content area, do this from the Content Area Manager: Page tab. The page controls the portlets you want displayed in regions on your page. If you are using direct access URLs to access folders directly, do not edit the folder's Name field on the Required tab as this changes the object's path and may cause your path link to break. From the Required tab, the Portlet Properties section is visible to members of the Portlet Publishers group only. This group has the privilege to publish objects to the Oracle Portal. Ask your portal administrator to be added to this group if necessary.
