5.5.4 Displaying the New and Updated Icons

If a region includes the New Item Indicator, when a user adds a new item or portlet to that region, the New icon is displayed next to it to inform other users that it is new and may contain information they haven’t yet seen. If a region includes the Updated Item Indicator, when a user edits an existing item or portlet in that region, the Updated icon is displayed next to it, to inform other users that it has been updated and may contain new information. You can control how long an item or portlet is considered new or recently updated by changing the display period of these icons. Changing the New and Updated Icon Display Period To change the New and Updated icon display period:

1. From the Page Groups portlets Work In drop-down list, choose the page group to

be edited. By default, the Page Groups portlet is located on the Build tab of the Portal Builder page.

2. Click the Items tab.

3. In the Icon Display Period field, enter the number of days to display the New and

Updated icons. If you set the icon display period to 0, the icons will not be displayed at all. The display period applies to both the New and Updated icons. You cannot set a different display period for the individual icons.

4. Click OK.

Adding the New or Updated Item Indicator to a Region To add the New or Updated Item Indicator to a region:

Note: When you change the icon display period, if a page has been cached, the new setting may not be immediately apparent.

5.5.5 Disabling the Rich Text Editor

By default, when users add or edit a text item, the area of the page where they enter the text includes a WYSIWYG editor. You can disable this feature so that users are provided with a simple text area instead. To disable the rich text editor:

be edited. By default, the Page Groups portlet is located on the Build tab of the Portal Builder page.

2. Click the Items tab.

5.6 Troubleshooting Content Management

I cannot see draft, pending, rejected, or deleted rejected items. Draft, pending, rejected, and deleted rejected items do not display as expected on pages that are cached at the system level. To avoid access problems, do not cache pages or templates at the system level when Approvals and Notifications are enabled. See Section 21.1, Page Caching . I am not being given the option of using Oracle BPEL workflow processes for approvals. Before you can select Oracle BPEL as an option for approvals, you need to enable the Content Management Event Framework CMEF. Oracle BPEL uses CMEF to communicate with Oracle Portal. See Section 5.4.1, Enabling Oracle BPEL Approval Processes. I cannot see the Oracle BPEL workflow process that I want to use on the Approvals tab. Before you can use an Oracle BPEL workflow process, the portal administrator must first create a process definition for it. For information about how to do this, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Portal.
