Use

The page title bar appears below the top-level navigation bar and relates to the currently displayed portal page (see Navigation ). It contains items pertinent to the runtime navigation of portal pages, as well as items related to the identification, personalization, and handling of portal pages.

Integration

In the default portal installation, the page title bar is an iView ( Ajax Page Toolbar ) integrated in the Ajax Framework Page of the user's portal desktop, appearing above the content area. For more information, see Ajax Framework Page .

You can remove this iView to disable the page title bar completely, or you can customize the individual items displayed in it. See below for instructions.

Prerequisites

  • To customize the page title bar: You have the appropriate portal permissions to edit the Ajax Page Toolbar iView.

  • To remove the page title bar from the framework page: You have the appropriate portal permissions to edit the framework page.

Activities

Enabling / Disabling the Page Title Bar

To enable/disable the page title bar, you add/remove the Ajax Page Toolbar iView from the relevant framework pages used in your organization. For an example and location of this iView in the Portal Catalog, examine the Ajax Framework Page supplied with the portal.

Enabling or disabling the page title bar is a portal-wide setting affecting all pages in the portal. The reason for this is that the page title bar is assigned to a framework page, and not to each portal page specifically. The feature is therefore preset and related to users' desktops.

Caution

We do not recommend hiding the page title bar, since the page-specific actions available in the Options context menu are not available elsewhere.
