Structure

The Classic Framework Page is a single portal page containing default iViews and pages. These components are positioned in the framework page using default page layouts also supplied by SAP.

The Classic Framework Page contains the following iViews and pages:

  • Page: Classic Framework Page (com.sap.portal.frameworkpage)

    This is a portal page that contains the following iViews and pages:

    • iView: Masthead iView

      Note Note

      An administrator can show or hide the links in the Masthead iView at runtime by setting the Show Link in Masthead: <Link Name> properties in the iView using the Framework Page Configuration tool. For more information, see Creating and Editing a Framework Page.

      If you have configured your portal to accept anonymous users, you can add the language personalization dropdown list to the masthead, by selecting the Show Dropdown List in Masthead: Language Personalization for Anonymous Users property in the Masthead iView. At runtime, anonymous users can change the portal language. If the anonymous user logs in as an authenticated user, the dropdown list disappears from the masthead, and the portal appears in the language defined for that user.
