Note
You cannot add content to, or remove content from, pages that originate from external repositories. To add content to a page that originates in an external repository, create a new page, add the copied page to that page, and then add additional content.
Prerequisites

All pages and iViews to be added to the page are available in the Portal Catalog or can be uploaded from a back-end system.
You have write permissions for the page and the content that you want to add.
You are familiar with the Isolation Method of iViews and Navigation Caching.
Procedure

You can define the behavior of each object added to the page, as follows:
Select the Visible checkbox to indicate whether the object is displayed when the page first opens
Select the Fixed checkbox to indicate whether portal users can minimize the object at runtime, but cannot remove it from the page through personalization.
Change the location of an object within its container by dragging the object up or down within the list.
Move an object to a different location by dragging it to the target container.
NoteYou can view the ID of an object by holding the cursor over the object name in the page content list.
