What is a portal? Oracle Application Server Portal is a component of the Oracle Application Server, which is used for the development, deployment, management, and configuration of an enterprise-class portal. Oracleas Portal combines a portal build frame with self-service publishing characteristics, which enables you to create, publish, and manage information in the portal. Using portals can publish information from databases or other sources, you can collect information from internal customers and external customers and provide them with information, as well as manage them to use.
A portal consists of a set of pages that accommodate many different types of content from different sources, all of which are only rendered from one location (ie, portal). Oracleas Portal comes with basic portal structure components including page groups, pages, tabs, areas, portlets, and projects. The page can be published and displayed using the page. The Oracleas Portal page combines a directory folder and a web page feature. Similar to the folder, the page exists in a hierarchy and can accommodate content. Similar to the web page, you can access the page via the URL, and the page has a user interface (ie browser) that allows the page designer to control information on the page. Page group group group, from the literal, is a group of pages. You can uniquely assign each group of pages to different uses or organizations inside and outside the company. For example, a group of pages can serve the Human Resources, and another group of pages can serve the sales department. Instead, a page group can serve different organizations. For example, your organization can have a homepage group, which is dedicated to specific purposes or internal organizations. The area is divided into some scattered portions in Oracleas Portal. Area is used to define page layouts and accommodation portals. You can imagine the area as a rectangle of the split page surface area. In these rectangles, you can place images, links, text, files, portlets, and others you want to display on the portal page. The tab adds a tab to a region will generate a virtual area stack. You can separate the area into multiple areas on the page and tab to create a page layout. Templates and styles Oracleas Portal also provide you with tools you need to customize your appearance for your page. It supports the creation and distribution of page templates to help implement uniform appearance. It provides a pre-built template that you can use directly or customize these templates. In addition, it also provides many design tools for creating and applying style. Use the style to control the colors, fonts and backgrounds of the page and their content. The style can be applied to the entire page or is applied to one or more areas on the page. Items and portlets You placed them on the page can be divided into two types: items and portlets:
Items include links, PL / SQL components, different types of files (such as images, HTML, word processing, zip, etc.) and other types of objects. As comes to another page, you are so-called projects such as images of your company logo or some static display. Portlets are reusable information components that summarize or provide portions of different types of information sources. These are called portlets such as dynamically updated quarterly income reports, search fields, buttons or simple user surveys. Project Properties and Portlet properties When you load content into your portal, you can also enter useful information related to content. You can enter information such as author name, content invalid date, or some other useful information of any type. This information is called attributes. Each project type in Oracleas Portal comes with a default property set. You can add your properties to this collection to create a custom project type. Category and view categories and views are two common properties. Categories and View Help you will add content classification to your portal. For example, when you upload a file, you can specify a category for it, which indicates the type of information contained in the file (such as Benefits). You can specify a number of views, which illustrate different viewers that may be interested in file content, such as supervisors, managers and individual contributors. This is just a possible use of categories and views. The opportunity to creatively applied these properties is endless. Combined with custom search portlets, you can use categories and views to display and publish all information related to a particular topic or a particular information recipient with a particular topic. Navigate When you log in to Oracleas Portal for the first time, you may notice many different navigation elements (typically buttons, links, and tabs). Depending on your company's configuration, your portal home page may contain a shortcut toolbar with links and buttons (will take you to the high-end ribs or other portals) of the portal. You can see the buttons, links, and tabs depend on which buttons, links, and tabs you have in your company's page designers, and your permissions you have on this page. The default navigation link is based on your access, you can see the following links and combinations of those links to your company's page designers: "Edit" link is the entry of editing mode; in editing modules, you can change the page properties and Style, define user permissions, and add subpages. Editing will affect each person's page view. "Custom" link rearranges the portlet and the starting point to add an existing portlet to the page. Customization will only affect your own page view. The Creator link is the starting point for creating a portal. The Help link is the conceptual information of the specific page in the OracleaS Portal user interface and the inlet associated with the context.
