You use the Portal Desktop Editor to create portal desktop objects. A portal desktop combines framework pages and portal themes into a single entity, which are later assigned to portal users through display rules.

Prerequisites

  • Access to the Portal Desktop Editor in the default system administrator role.

  • At least read/write permission for the Portal Catalog folder in which you want to create or edit a portal desktop object.

  • At least read permission for the relevant framework pages and portal themes in the PCD (Portal Content Directory).

Procedure

Creating a Portal Desktop

  1. Navigate to   System Administration   Portal Display   Desktops & Display Rules  .

  2. In the Portal Catalog, right-click the folder in which you want to create a portal desktop object, and from the context menu choose   New   Portal Desktop  .

    The Portal Desktop Editor opens.

  3. In the Portal Desktop Name field, enter a friendly name for the portal desktop object.

  4. In the Portal Desktop ID field, enter a unique ID for the portal desktop object.

  5. Optional: Specify a Filter ID. This allows you to filter entry points according to the desktop that is displayed. More information: Filtering Entry Points.

  6. Assign framework pages and portal themes to the portal desktop:

    • To add a framework page or portal theme to the portal desktop, right-click the desired object in the Portal Catalog and choose either Add Framework Page to Portal Desktop or Add Theme to Portal Desktop.

    • To remove a framework page or portal theme from the portal desktop, choose the radio button of the desired object, and click Remove.

  7. Specify both an active framework page and a default portal theme for the portal desktop. To do so, choose the radio button of the desired object listed in the editor, and click Set Default.

  8. Click Save.

    The portal desktop object is created in the selected folder. You may access it later from the Portal Catalog for further editing.

Editing a Portal Desktop

  1. Navigate to   System Administration   Portal Display   Desktops & Display Rules  .

  2. In the Portal Catalog, right-click the portal desktop object that you want to edit and from the context menu, choose   Open   Object  .
