7.3.1 Viewing Page Property Sheets

The page property sheet provides a quick look at some useful information about the page or tab from which it is accessed. This includes the page’s or tab’s path-based and durable URLs, the page’s assigned contact, its current caching option, whether the page is also published as a portlet, and so on. To access the page property sheet:

1. Log in to Oracle Portal.

2. Click the Build tab to bring it forward.

3. From the Page Groups portlet Work In drop-down list, select the page group that

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

4. Under the Pages heading in the Layout Appearance section, click the link to the

relevant page. This opens the page in Edit mode.

Note: If your page does not contain these icons, your page designer has not selected the Property Sheet attribute for display in the page region.

6. Click the Close button to close the property sheet window.

You can also place the Smart Link Property Sheet in any item region to get a look at a combination of page and region properties. When the Smart Link is placed on a tab, the URL and durable URL listed in the property sheet are for the tab. You can use these URLs to target the page with the current tab selected. Note that the style listed in this property sheet is always the style of the containing page and not the style applied to the region. This is true even when the region that contains a Property Sheet Smart Link uses a style different from the style used on the containing page. For information on adding a Smart Link to a page, see Section 13.6.6, Adding a Portal Smart Link Item .

7.3.2 Viewing Portlet Property Sheets

2. Click the Build tab to bring it forward.

3. From the Page Groups portlet Work In drop-down list, select the page group that

owns the page that contains the portlet.
