Building components

Oracle Portal provides build wizards that guide you step by step through the process of creating a component.

To build a component, you must have Edit or higher access privileges in the application that will own the finished component.

To build a component:

  1. On the Oracle Portal Home page, click on the shortcut bar.

  2. Click the Applications tab in the Oracle Portal Navigator.

    The Name column of the Navigator displays the names of all applications in which you have privileges.

  3. Click the name of the application in which you want to build the new component.

  4. Click Create, then click the component type you want to build; for example, a Chart or Form.

    Depending on the type of component you are building, Oracle Portal displays either the first step of the component build wizard or a menu of additional choices. If you click Form, for example, you have the option of creating a form based on a table or view, a master-detail form, or a form based on a procedure.

  5. When the first step of the component build wizard displays, follow the instructions shown on each step.

    A progress indicator displays how many wizard steps are left to complete. You can click the Finish button on some steps to create the component using default values for options on all the wizard steps you didn't complete.
