Location in Portal Catalog: Portal Content > Portal Users > Standard Portal Users > Default Framework Page (pcd:portal_content/every_user/general/frameworkpage)

Caution

Refer to SAP note 687485 before making changes to the default framework page. Do not modify the delta link source object of the above-mentioned framework page, which is located in a sub-folder under the Content Provided by SAP folder.

Headerless Default Framework Page

The headerless default framework page supplied with the portal supports the headerless navigation mode (see Headerless Navigation). It is not accessible through the Portal Catalog and has no editable properties.
