Framework Page 

The following shows the default layout for the default framework page (the names in parentheses are the PCD IDs for these objects):

A navigation iView can be content independent (always visible, for example, the top-level navigation iView) or content dependent (only visible sometimes, for example, the See Also panel, which is displayed only when related links are defined for the current content).

The following are the default iViews within the framework page.

·        Masthead: Displays the personalized welcome message and portal links, such as Help, Personalize and Log Off.

·        Tools Area: Contains a search input field for Knowledge Management (KM) components. Except for KM enabled installations, this iView is invisible. A portal administrator can edit the portal framework page and enable the iView.

·        Top Level Navigation (TLN): Displays the top levels of the navigation hierarchy for the current user, by default two levels. The following are key properties of the TLN:

¡        Hovering: In hovering mode, the user can hover over a first-level node and this node’s second-level nodes are displayed.

¡        Number of Display Levels: By default, the TLN shows two root levels of the navigation hierarchy. If this attribute is 0, the TLN is not shown, and the hierarchy is displayed in the DTN. If this attribute is 1, the TLN contains one level and the rest of the navigation hierarchy is displayed in the DTN.

¡        Personalize Portal Page: The PCD location of the personalization portal page. By default, the portal personalization dialog page is used.

·        Page Title Bar: Displays links for page-related functions, such as refreshing the page or opening the page in a new window.

·        Detailed Navigation (DTN): Displays the portal navigation hierarchy, by default starting from the third level.

The first level to be displayed in the DTN iView depends on what is displayed in the TLN. For example, if the TLN displays one level, the DTN should start from the second level. The Start At Level attribute specifies the start level in the DTN.

·        Dynamic Navigation: Displays navigation iViews assigned to the current content.

·        Drag&Relate Targets: Displays a list of iViews related to the current content and for which Drag&Relate actions can be performed. A content administrator can select iViews and pages to associate to the current content, and Drag&Relate links to these iViews and pages are displayed in the Drag&Relate iView.

For more information on Drag&Relate actions, see Drag&Relate Targets in the Portal Administration Guide.

·        See Also (Related Links): Displays a list of iViews related to the current content. A content administrator can select iViews and pages to associate to the current content, and links to these iViews and pages are displayed in the See Also iView.

·        Portal Favorites: Displays a list of links to pages and iViews that the user has chosen as favorites.
