Choosing the perspectives available in a page group

You can control which perspectives users can apply to the items and pages in a page group.

To choose the perspectives that are available in a page group, you must have at least one of the following privileges:

• Portal administrator
  

• Manage All privileges on the page group
  
• Manage All global privileges on All Page Groups

To choose the perspectives available in a page group:

1. In the Navigator, click Properties next to the page group with which you want to work.

2. Click the Configure tab.

3. In the Content Type and Classification section, click Edit.

4. In the Hidden Perspectives list, choose the perspectives that you want users to be able to apply to items and pages in the page group.

   Tip: You can choose more than one perspective in the Hidden Perspectives list. For example on Microsoft Windows, press Ctrl or Shift and choose multiple perspectives.

5. Click to move the chosen perspective to the Visible Perspectives list.

6. In the Visible Perspectives list, choose the perspectives that you do not want users to be able to apply to items and pages in the page group.

   Tip: You can choose more than one perspective in the Visible Perspectives list. For example on Microsoft Windows, press Ctrl or Shift and choose multiple perspectives.

7. Click to move the chosen perspectives to the Hidden Perspectives list.

   Note: If you exclude perspectives from a page group, you are not deleting those perspectives, you are simply preventing users from being able to assign items or pages to those perspectives.

8. Use to choose the order in which the perspectives are displayed in the Perspectives list.

9. Click OK to return to the Configure tab.

10. Click OK to return to the Navigator.

Notes

• Items assigned to a hidden perspective are not hidden.
  

• Hidden perspectives do not appear on pages, even when the perspective attribute is selected for the region.
  
• If you hide a shared perspective, it is only hidden in the current page group (not in all page groups). To hide a shared perspective in all page groups, you must hide it in the Shared Objects page group.
