The Maintain Pages option is one of the Module Administration options located on the Menu/Admin command list. It allows Systems Administrators to create and configure the pages to be used by the system. Among these pages might be a default Home Page to be made available to each user following login, a Home Page intended for System Administrators and a variety of Solutions pages to be displayed when a particular eSeries Solutions option is selected. The settings specified in the Module Maintenance option will determine what control end users will be given over the removal and manipulation of the modules using the End User Page Design facility.
Entries made can be updated using the Update button
on
the toolbar. Help for the individual fields in the program is provided
below.
Page ID: Each page must be identified by a unique code. The F9 Lookup key can be used to select an existing page.
Title: Enter the module title. Variables such as {$username}, {$fullname}, {$environment_name}, {$environment_description} can be used to call up the relevant data for incorporation in the title. The page title appears on the toolbar area at run time.
Description: Enter a description for the page to explain its function.
Refresh Time: Specify the number of minutes after which the page should automatically refresh its own data. The refresh time is applicable only when the enabled checkbox is selected.
Sequence: This field specifies the order in which the pages are shown in the Page Explorer module.
Packages: Details of the supported packages are entered here. These are passed to modules so that content can be scoped to be within the range of supported packages.
Note User Settings can be used to lock pages to prevent users from adding, moving or closing a module. They also determine what page should be displayed initially when users log on - typically a Home Page created specifically for the user.
