You use different views within the authoring portlet to
perform different tasks.
The home page
The home page is a simple
user interfaced personalized for the current user. The authoring portlet
can be configured to either display a basic or standard home page.
- Basic home page
- The basic home page is designed for content authors who only need
to create content items and other simple item types, and who would
not usually need access to the more advanced library explorer. The
basic home page will allow the creation of content using up to six
different authoring templates. The authoring templates displayed are
the favorites of the current user, the most recently used by the current
user, and any predefined authoring templates.
- Standard home Page
- One section of the standard home page is used to create items
and open favorite locations. Another section of the standard home
page is used to view recent activity. This interface is designed for
content authors who need to complete tasks such as creating content,
editing their draft content and approving and declining content,
but who would not usually need access to the more advanced library
explorer.
The library explorer
The library explorer
is a more advanced user interface than the home page. It displays
different lists of items you have access to. You can select a library
and navigate through the different item-type views within each library.
You can choose to display an explorer tree to assist you navigate
through the items in each library.
The navigation bar
When configured to be visible,
the navigation bar is displayed next to either the home page or library
explorer. You can navigate to lists of items using the navigation
bar.
