Creating Custom Pages
Create portal pages by logging into My webMethods using the SysAdmin user account or another user account that is a member of the Admin role. To build a page, you must switch to page editing mode. In page editing mode, the system administrator user interface changes to display a Tools tab on the left and the custom page on the right. The Tools tab lists portlets that you can add to the custom page.
To create a custom page
1. As system administrator, navigate to the folder where the new page is to reside. If the folder you want to use does not exist, create it.
If you want to add the page to the
My webMethods Applications navigation, navigate to a location within:
Folders > My webMethods Applications > Fabric Tasks
If you want to add the page to a different taxonomy, it is recommended that you use a location within either of the following:
Folders (root folder)
Folders > Public Folders 2. In the folder title bar, click , and then New > Page. 3. In the New Page window, do the following:
a. In the Name field, type the name of the new page.
b. In the Description field, optionally type a description of the new page.
c. Click Create.
4. Open the new page you just created by clicking the link for the page.
5. In the page title bar, click , and then Edit Page to switch to page editing mode. 8. Build the page by performing the tasks listed in the following table:
Task | Additional Information |
Add portlets by dragging portlets from the Tools tab on to the page canvas. | |
Position the portlets on the page. | |
Set the portlet properties. | |
Optionally, set up portlet aliases. | |
Optionally, wire the portlets. | |
9. In the page title bar, click Save.
To make your new page available, you can:
Provide the page URL so that users can access it directly. Make the URL simpler by assigning the page an alias. For example, if you assign the page the alias “MyCustomPage”, users can enter the following URL where
host_name is the
My webMethods Server host name and
port_number is its port number.
http://www.host_name:port_number/MyCustomPage
