In the Display Name field, edit the descriptive name of the perspective.

Preparing to Add Content 5-33 If you hide a shared perspective, it is hidden only in the current page group not in all page groups.

5.3.2.4 Moving a Perspective to the Shared Objects Page Group

You can move a perspective to the Shared Objects page group to make it visible across all page groups. If you do this, note that perspectives are based on the template in their owning page group, so the perspective page may look different if its original template and the template in the Shared Objects group are not exactly the same. To move a perspective to the Shared Objects page group:

1. Use the Navigator to browse to the perspective that you want to move.

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 Move to Shared.

3. In the confirmation page, click Yes.

You cannot move a perspective to the Shared Objects page group if there is a template or page with the same name at the root level of the Shared Objects page group. Consider keeping perspective names unique to avoid this possibility.

5.3.2.5 Deleting a Perspective

When you delete a perspective, if the perspective includes sub-perspectives, those sub-perspectives will also be deleted. Take care when deleting a perspective from the Shared Objects page group. Perspectives in the Shared Objects page group may be used across page groups. Deleting a perspective from Shared Objects removes it from all page groups that use it. Deleting a Single Perspective: To delete a single perspective: 1. Use the Navigator to browse to the perspective that you want to delete. 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 Delete link.

3. In the confirmation page, click Yes.

Deleting Multiple Perspectives To delete multiple perspectives: Note: Objects can be moved to the Shared Objects page group—whose default language is English—from a non-English page group only if the object already has an English translation. This applies to all promotable objects: item types, page types, categories, perspectives, attributes, and styles. Tip: If the perspective is shared, it will be in the Shared Objects page group.
