Portal users who are authorized as group content administrators
can create page templates from their personal pages and then share
the templates with groups of users. Content administrators for the
Public group can create page templates from their personal pages and
then share the templates with all portal users.
To create
and share a page template, follow these steps:
-
If the
page already exists, then navigate to the page that you want to use
as a template.
If the
page does not yet exist, then create the page.
For instructions, see Create a New Page. Do not share the page that you create.
-
-
While
the page is displayed in your portal, click
OptionsCreate Page Template.
-
On the
Create a New Page Template page, specify the following information:
A number that indicates
the importance of the pages that users create using this template,
as compared to the importance of other pages. The default value is
100.
This number determines
the order in which pages are listed in users' navigation bars. The
pages are ordered by rank from lowest to highest. Pages with equal
rank are listed in the order in which they were created.
Select the group of
users that you want to share the page template with.
Select the type of
sharing action that you want to apply:
The next time each
user in the group logs on to the portal, a page will be created for
the user based on the template. The new page is added to the user's
portal.
The user can edit the
new page or remove it.
The next time each
user in the group logs on to the portal, a page will be created for
the user based on the template. The new page is added to the user's
portal.
The user can edit the
new page, but cannot remove it.
Note: Pages that
are created from persistent page templates can be removed only by
a group content administrator. To remove these pages,
the content administrator must delete the template from which the
pages were created.
See Delete a Page Template.
