Personalizing Pages
Personalizing pages is a way to make a new view that can combine multiple lists. In the page edit view in My Personalizations, you can add a new tab to a page. You can also change the page layout, for example, to present two lists side-by-side. You might choose to this if, for example, you have several lists that you frequently use together.
Before you add or combine lists, for the lists you want to work with, use the information window (Ctrl + Shift+ left-mouse-click) to capture the Business Class and List name information.
You can personalize a page directly from the page. Click Options > Personalize. This opens an editor view of the page. This is the recommended method for creating personalized pages.
Or you can personalize a page from My Personalizations:
-
In the heading of the page, press Ctrl + Shift + left-mouse-click and the page information displays. Click the Personalize link. This creates a new configured page record that will open in the My Personalizations screen.
-
Go to Start > My Personalizations. Select Configured Pages then the New icon to create a new personalization. On the Configure Page screen, a list of all pages displays. You can type the page name into the Select Menu field to filter the list. Select the page and click OK. The new configured page record opens in the My Personalizations screen.
This table lists the types of changes you can make to a page record once it is open in the editor view.
