Figure 4–4 Newly-Created Pages Inheriting Properties From the Page Group The following properties are inherited from the parent as page defaults. Note that changes to these parent page properties do not continue to cascade to sub-pages after the sub-pages have been created, with the exception of access rules that are set to inherit: ■ Page type ■ Page caching option ■ Portal Template 4-16 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Portal ■ HTML page skin ■ Style ■ Portlet settings ■ Item versioning level ■ Contact e-mail ■ Category ■ Keywords ■ Approval process ■ Parameters ■ Navigation page used for the banner This is defaulted to the first navigation page portlet on the parent page. If the parent page contains other navigation page portlets, those will also be inherited by new sub-pages. ■ Access settings This includes the settings for Display Page To Public Users and Enable Item Level Security as well as the access control list that is, the list of users and groups and their associated privileges.

Note: When a new page is created, the settings for the property Default WebDAV Types is always reset to Inherit from Parent Page. This allows any changes to a parent page to automatically cascade down to the child pages. When property settings are copied from the parent page, all sub-pages are set to Use same portal template as parent page. If the parent page uses a Portal Template for items, the sub-page uses the same Portal Template for items. As long as the sub-page is set to Use same portal template as parent page, subsequent changes to the parent’s Portal Template for items setting will cascade to the sub-page.
