The content creation tools available in the Portal Content Studio enable beginner and advanced content developers to create all types of content based on an organization's data resources, systems, and applications.

In addition, they can create simple portal pages by assigning existing and self-created content. Advanced users, such as content experts and managers, can create advanced portal pages and iViews using the many tools offered in the Portal Content Studio.
