5. Click the Main tab to bring it forward.

The attributes available on the Main tab vary a little from the attributes available when you first create the style. Notably, the Main tab includes Name and Description attributes. The Name attribute differs from the Display Name attribute both in the way Oracle Portal uses it and in the rules that govern which characters can be used in its formation. Oracle Portal uses the Name internally. The default value in the Name field is taken from the Display Name provided when the style was created. The value is truncated to 65 characters and any spaces and special characters are discarded. Use only alphanumeric characters A to Z, a to z, and 0 to 9 and underscore _ For example, if the Display Name is RD Style, the Name is RDSTYLE. The Name must be unique within its page group and the Shared Objects page group. Use up to 65 characters.

6. If you wish, enter a description of the style in the Description field.

The style description is available to view when users edit the style. It is not exposed anywhere else.

11.11 Deleting a Style

When you delete a style, all pages and item regions that used the style revert to the page group default style. If the page group default style is None, all pages and regions revert to the system default style. You cannot delete the system default style, nor can you delete the style created automatically when a page group is created. To delete a style, you must either have created the style or have at least the page group privilege Manage Styles on the page group that owns the style. To delete a style: Note: If the style is not included in those listed in the Page Groups portlet, click the More… link that displays at the end of the list of styles.
