Web Page Composer 

Use

Users in specialist departments can use the Web Page Composer to create and publish Web sites for a company's own intranet or for an external information portal. You can distribute various tasks to different roles:

●      Site owners create the site navigation structure.

●      Editors create Web pages.

●      Authors contribute content such as articles.

In this simplified scenario, a single person can carry out all required tasks.

You can carry out all of the following steps in a single system or you can create Web sites in a test system and then transport them to a productive system. In the latter case, carry out the initial configuration (step one) of both systems in accordance with your requirements.

 

Procedure

...

       1.      Administrators: To set up the working environment for users, carry out the initial configuration steps.

       2.      Administrators (optional): Create new page layouts.

If the page layouts delivered by SAP for the Web Page Composer do not completely meet your requirements, you can create your own page layouts and integrate them into the portal.

       3.      Administrators (optional): Create new Web forms.

If the forms delivered by SAP for creating Web content do not fully meet your requirements, you can create your own Web forms and integrate them into the Web Page Composer.

       4.      Site owners, editors, and authors: Create Web sites.

The central IT department can delegate the responsibility for creating and updating Web sites to site owners in specialist departments. Site owners can then delegate certain subtasks to other employees.

       5.      Administrators (optional): If you have chosen to create and publish Web sites in a different system, transport those sites from the test system to the productive system.

       6.      Administrators: Integrate new Web sites into the portal navigation structure of user roles.

To make a new Web site visible in the portal, an administrator must integrate the site in question into the portal navigation structure for a user role.

This step takes place only once for each Web site. When the specialist departments update their Web sites later on, they can publish the updates themselves.

       7.      Administrators (optional): Expose certain Web sites to the general public.

If you have chosen to make certain Web sites available for external users, you need to configure both KM and WPC as well as the relevant Web sites.

       8.      Visitors: Display the Web pages in the portal.

Visitors can access Web pages from the portal navigation structure or using the search function in the masthead. Certain standard functions are available on every page.  For example, you can subscript to Web page RSS feeds or send feedback to owners.
