5.3.2 Working with Perspectives

Perspectives are used to further classify content by a cross-category grouping. Perspectives often answer the question Who will be interested in this item? A human resources page group might have perspectives such as All Employees, Design Analysts, Quality Assurance Engineers, and Sales Representatives. A travel agency page group might have perspectives such as Inexpensive Vacations, Moderately Priced Vacations, and Luxury Vacations. The purpose of perspectives is to enable users to quickly display a listing of content that is pertinent to them. For example, if you want some users to be able to quickly access all of the content that relates to being a sales representative such as sales reports, contact management applications, and calendaring services, you could create a perspective called Sales Representatives. When a user adds an item to the page group, they can assign it to this and other perspectives. To find all of the available content, other users can then search on this perspective to see a listing of the items that are part of it. For information about assigning items to perspectives, see Section 14.4.2, Classifying the Content of an Item . For information about searching on categories, see Section 2.2.1.2, Performing an Advanced Search . Unlike categories, users can choose more than one perspective for an item. For example, a sales report might belong to both the Sales Representatives and Marketing Managers perspectives. Tip: If the category is shared, it will be in the Shared Objects page group. See Section 4.6, Sharing Objects Across Page Groups Tip: If the categories are shared, they will be in the Shared Objects page group. See Section 4.6, Sharing Objects Across Page Groups Preparing to Add Content 5-29 Since perspectives have the potential to be quite large, you can also create a hierarchy of perspectives. For example, in the Sales Representatives perspective, you might want to have separate subordinate perspectives for sales representatives in the eastern division, the central division, and the western division. Perspective Pages and Perspective Templates When you create a perspective, a page is also created. This page lists all the items and pages that belong to the perspective. For example, regions can be set up to display perspectives. When users click a perspective, that perspective’s page is displayed, listing all the items and pages that belong to the perspective. The first time you create a perspective in a page group, a Portal template is also created called the Perspective Pages Template and all perspective pages in the page group are based on this template. This means that if you want to change the way perspective pages look, you just need to edit the perspective pages template rather than each individual perspective page. Perspectives are always based on the template in their owning page group. So if you move a perspective to the Shared Objects page group, the perspective page may look different if its original template and the template in the Shared Objects group are not exactly the same. You will find the Perspective Pages Template in the Portal Navigator, under the Portal Templates node of the page group that owns the perspective. Click the Edit link next to the template to revise its look and feel. The perspective template only controls the appearance of perspective pages. It does not influence how perspective information is displayed on the Items and Pages tabs of a perspective page. You can control the appearance and layout of this information, by settings options for the two Custom Search portlets that are used to return the perspective information. To do this, open the perspective page in Edit mode, first click the Items tab and then the Edit Defaults icon, next to the search results. Editing these settings influence how information on the Items tab is displayed. To do the same for the Pages tab, click the Pages tab to bring it forward and then the Edit Defaults icon for the portlet. This section contains the following sub-sections: ■ Section 5.3.2.1, Creating a Perspective ■ Section 5.3.2.2, Editing a Perspective Note: Any user with at least the Manage Classifications privilege on a page group can create and manage perspectives. Note: ■ Although you can base other pages on this template, we recommend that you use it only for pages that are used for listing all objects classified under a particular perspective. ■ You must not delete perspective pages or templates. If you do so inadvertently your perspective becomes unusable. To resolve issues that relate to deletedmissing perspective pages or templates, see Appendix C - Using the Category and Perspective Scripts in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Portal.
