A Page is a tab entry in the portal.

It has a name, a title, an index (position in the list of pages) and optionally a menu.

The list of pages is accessible in the menu Design / Pages:

Page Visibility

A page is visible if:

  • The user has the right access if an AccessRight has been set on the page
  • The page menu is visible if an menu has been set.

WARNING: If you create a menu for a page, and do not add submenus in it, the menu will not be visible. A menu is visible only if at least one menu entry in it is visible. As a result, a page with an empty menu is not visible.
