Defining a Default Page for Detailed Navigation

To set up a default page for detailed navigation:

Create a page containing detailed navigation as described in Assigning a Java iView to a Page.

Go to the Role Editor in the administrator role (Roles entry) and call the page catalog in the view area.

Find the corresponding location in the page list and move it to the edit area with Edit.

Set the attribute defined as Default Portal Page for this page.

Result

If a portal user clicks on a folder in the second level of the top-level navigation for his role and it does not have a page, this default page is automatically started in the content area.

The following also occurs:

If a folder contains a special page and there is also a default page in parallel, the page in the folder and not the default page is displayed.
If a folder contains more than one page of your own, the first page of the folder is always displayed in the content area. The user must explicitly select the other page in the detailed navigation by clicking with the mouse.

The system makes sure that there is only one default page for detailed navigation. If a page is already marked and you mark another one, the marking for the first page is automatically reset.

Importing pages into the Enterprise Portal can result in more than one default page.
