5.3.2.1 Creating a Perspective

To create a perspective:

1. In the Navigator, click the link for the page group in which you want to create the

perspective. To get to the Navigator click the Navigator link on any page. By default you can find a Navigator link on the Portal Builder page.

2. Click the Perspectives link.

3. Next to Create New, click the Perspective link. Or, if you want to create the

perspective under an existing perspective, click the Create Sub-Perspective link next to the perspective under which you want to create the new perspective.

4. In the Display Name field, enter a descriptive name for the perspective.

The Display Name identifies the perspective to other users. It is the name that displays on pick lists and in regions where the perspective attribute is exposed. Use up to 240 characters of any kind, including spaces.

5. Click Create.

6. Click Close.

When you create a perspective it is not immediately available for page managers and content contributors to apply to the pages and content in that page group. See Section 5.3.2.3, Making a Perspective Available to a Page Group .

5.3.2.2 Editing a Perspective

When you create a perspective, not all of the available properties are available. You can edit a perspective after creating it to specify the rest of the available properties.

5.3.2.2.1 Edit the Basic Properties of a Perspective

To edit the basic properties of a perspective: 1. Use the Navigator to browse to the perspective that you want to edit. To get to the Navigator click the Navigator link on any page. By default you can find a Navigator link on the Portal Builder page.

2. In the row for the perspective, click the Properties link.

3. In the Name field, edit the name of the perspective.

Tip: If you create a perspective in a particular page group, that perspective is available only in that page group. If you want the perspective to be available in multiple page groups, either create it in the Shared Objects page group, or if the perspective already exists promote it to the Shared Objects page group. See Section 4.6, Sharing Objects Across Page Groups Tip: If the perspective is shared, it will be in the Shared Objects page group. See Section 4.6, Sharing Objects Across Page Groups
