After you have created your page you may want to edit the properties of the page to change some of these default settings. You do not have to go through a wizard to create a standard page. You can also create standard pages using WebDAV or by executing an unzip operation with a Zip file that includes a directory structure. For more information about WebDAV, see Chapter 18, Using WebDAV Clients with Oracle Portal. For more information about using Zip files with your portal, see Section 14.3, Uploading Multiple Files Simultaneously.

6.3 Creating a Sub-Page

Any page you add to a page group is a sub-page to the page group’s root page. The root is the page that is created when you create a page group. You may want to add a hierarchy of sub-pages to create additional page levels. For example, let’s say you have the page group Departments, under which you create the sub-pages Orders, Fulfillment, and Accounts. Under the Accounts page, you create three sub-pages: Regions, Forms, and Tips Figure 6–2 . In such a structure, Departments is the root page; Orders, Fulfillment, and Accounts are sub-pages of the root page; and Regions, Forms, and Tips are sub-pages of their parent page, Accounts. This section explains how to create a sub-page to a standard page.
