Working with standard pages

Standard pages, similar to standard widgets, are predefined content provided by Infor. The purpose of standard pages is to add predefined content to help you get started. The Standard Pages feature can be enabled in the Features section. See Working with features.

Standard pages are available in the Page Catalog and can be used as default pages or mandatory pages. You cannot edit, add, or delete standard pages from the administration tool, but you can set permissions to affect the users, roles, and groups for which a page should be available. You can also copy the standard page to a published page that can in turn be edited.

Infor reserves the right to, at any time, publish new versions of standard pages with updated content. If you do not want to receive updates for a standard page, you can publish a copy of it. See Publishing a copy of a standard page.

For the first-time user, up to five standard pages are loaded from the Infor Registry as default pages. The first-time user can then add one more page.

For any user who has removed all pages, up to five standard pages are loaded from the Infor Registry.

The selection of the standard pages is based first on Infor CloudSuite default pages from the Infor Registry and then on application default pages from the Infor Registry. If a mandatory page is used, standard pages are not added.

Under the Homepages Administration menu, the Pages > Standard Pages view displays a listing of all standard pages. If permissions have been set, then the Permissions column contains the keyword Restricted.

The Standard Pages page has all actions available in the toolbar above the list. You can search and sort to affect which pages are shown. To access more pages that match the search, click More below the list. When one or more search filters are in use, There are active filters. is displayed at the bottom of the list next to a Clear all option, available for deactivating the filters.

All possible actions are available from the Actions menu. Actions that are available only for either single or multiple selection are enabled when they can be used.

These actions are available from the Actions menu:

This action can be used to update pages that have the correct permissions with new content, or to update a published copy of a standard page with the latest version of the original standard page. See Publishing a copy of a standard page.
