5.2.3.2.4 Including a Page Type’s Procedure Call on a Page

If a page type includes a procedure call, the link to execute the procedure call will be displayed in a page of that type only if a Page Function item is added to the page. To include a page type’s procedure call on a page: 1. Go to the page where you want to add the Page Function item. For information on locating a page, see Section 8.1, Locating Pages in Oracle Portal .

2. Switch to Edit mode.

3. In the region where you want to add the Page Function item, click the Add Item icon. If you do not see the Add Item icon, the region may be a portlet region, in which case, you cannot add items to this region.

4. From the Built-In Navigation Item Types list, choose Page Function.

If there are no page functions associated with the current page, this item type is not displayed. If you know there are page functions, but this item type does not appear in the list, contact your page group administrator. Your administrator selects which item types to display here. If you do not see Page Function in the list, the page may not have any page functions associated with it or the Page Function item type may not have been included in the page group. For information about how to include this item type, see Section 5.2.2.3, Making an Item Type Available to a Page Group .

5. Click Next.

6. From the Page Function list, choose the page function that you want to include in

the page.

7. Click Finish.

5.2.3.3 Making a Page Type Available to a Page Group

When you create a page type, it is not immediately available for use by page creators. This is because you will probably want to edit the page type first to add attributes and procedure calls. When you are happy with the page type, and are ready for page creators to start creating pages of that type, you must make the page type available in the page group. To make a page type available to a page group:

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 Builder page.

2. Click the Configure tab.

3. In the Page Defaults section, click the Edit link.

Note: You can also reach the Configure Types and Classification page by clicking the Configure link on the first page of the Create Page Wizard.
