Creating iViews 

Purpose

The Portal Content Studio provides a framework for creating iViews in a number of ways without having to write any code.

 

Process Flow

A content administrator can create an iView in the Portal Content Studio using:

●      iView Wizard: Provides step-by-step guidance to create iViews based on iView templates, portal components, or Web Dynpro applications deployed in the portal. For more information, see Launching the iView Wizard and General Information.

Each wizard is tailored to the type of iView. The type of iView depends on the information source providing the data to the iView at runtime.

●      Copy & paste actions: Using the Copy-Paste actions you can copy existing iViews and templates and create new instances without using a wizard. For more information, see Creating iView Instances Using Copy-Paste.

●      Generic Portal Application Layer (GPAL) repositories: You can create PCD objects based applications and content created outside the portal and paste them into the Portal Catalog. For more information, see Generic Portal Application Layer (GPAL) Repositories.

●      Content mirroring tool:Provides an alternative means for duplicating existing iViews (and other content) while maintaining a delta link between the original objects and their copies. See Content Mirroring.
