What Are DivePort Pages?

DivePort pages are display areas in portal environments. A page can contain one or more portlets or child pages. ClosedExample of a page with portlets:

Example of a DivePort page.

A page created from an existing page is referred to as the child of that page, and the original page is considered the parent. Pages that are children of the same parent page can be referred to as sibling pages.

Each page is assigned a layout and an ID, and can be referenced by its URI address.

Pages are divided into Closedthree sections: title bar, page navigation and toolbar, and the page body.

A DivePort page divided into three sections labeled Header, Title Bar, and Page Body.

Title bar

The title bar contains portal tools and DivePort user information.

The header of a DivePort page with three number labels: 1 (near the DI logo), 2 (next to MY ACCOUNT), and 3 (next to the chevron).

  1. A customizable logo and message.

  2. MY ACCOUNT, ADMIN, and HELP menus; and LOG ON, LOG OFF, and END PROXY buttons.

    NOTE: The availability of MY ACCOUNT depends on the DivePort configuration. The ADMIN menu is only available to DivePort administrators. END PROXY is available only when an administrator is using proxy logon.

  3. The Edit this environment chevron and Environments selector list.

Navigation and Toolbar

The navigation bar contains tools and information that are specific to the current page. The page name is centered on this bar. Available options depend on user access privileges and whether the page is unlocked for editing.

  • ClosedLocked page elements include the SideBar icon, Back and Home navigation links, Print, and Edit buttons.
  • Title bar of a locked DivePort page with side bar icon, Back, Home, Print, and Edit buttons, and page title (Products).
  • ClosedUnlocked page elements include the SideBar icon, Home navigation link, Undo, Save, and Cancel buttons, the Show Hidden Portlets icon, and Edit the page contents chevron.
  • Title bar of an unlocked DivePort page with side bar icon, Home, Undo, Save, and Cancel buttons, hidden portlet icon (eye), chevron, and page title (Products).

NOTE: The page title and SideBar icon appear on all pages. Other buttons and icons appear only as needed.

Page body

The page body contains portlets that you use to organize the page and share information with users.

You can set the Layout property to define whether portlets are manually placed on the page or automatically arranged by rows and columns. A Snap-to-grid property automatically aligns the portlets against a hidden grid. You can define the grid size, in pixels.

SideBar

The SideBar lists the pages in the current environment. You can access the SideBar by clicking the ClosedSideBar icon . The SideBar appears on the left of the page body, showing the top-level pages by default. You can expand list items to access child pages.
