Editing views

Views provide a limited set of nodes in the navigation pane and optional set of startup pages to help users focus on their tasks. If you have sufficient authorization in the portal, you can change the view name, navigation content, and access permissions for system and custom views. You can delete only custom views. Changes you make to a system view are saved as System Customized.

About this task

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, click Console Settings > Views.
    The Views page is displayed with the list of system and custom views in the portal.
  2. Click the view name in the list displayed in Views.
    This displays the view's properties.
  3. Optional: Expand Roles with Access to This View to update the list of roles with permissions to the view and their access level.
    A list of all roles with access to the view is displayed.
    User
    Roles with User access, have view access to the configured portlet, when it is subsequently added to a page.
    Privileged User
    Roles with privileged user access, have view access and such users can personalize their own experience of a portlet through the icon in the portlet taskbar. Personalizing a portlet does not affect the experience of other users of the portlet.
    Editor

    Roles with Editor access can subsequently edit shared settings for a portlet through the icon in the taskbar. When an editor modifies shared settings, it affects other portlet user settings for that portlet.

    Also, roles with Editor access can subsequently edit the portlet's general settings in the Portlet Wizard. Editor access (unlike manager access) does not provide access to portlet-specific customization pages or to the security settings page in the Portlet Wizard.

    Manager
    Roles with Manager access can subsequently modify any aspect of the portlet in the Edit Portlet Wizard.
    Note: As the creator of the custom portlet you are given Manager access by default.
    Note: Granting access to the view does not grant access to the pages within the view.
  4. Optional: Expand Pages in This View to change which pages are displayed in the navigation when the view is selected.
    Option Description
    Add a page to the view Click Add to add a page to the view.
    Remove a page from the view Select the page in the Select column and click Remove. You can select multiple pages to remove.
    Change the launch options for a page Select Launch for each page that should be opened when the view is selected. Only one page can be in focus (current) when the view is selected. When multiple pages are set to launch, set the current page in the Default column.
  5. Click Save to save your changes and return to the main view panel.

Results

For customized versions of a system view, you can retrieve the system view settings by editing the system customized view and clicking Restore. The system customized version of the view is removed and replace by the original system view.
