Working With the Context Manager Center and the Context Manager Center Pagelet

This section discusses how to:

  • Work with the Context Manager Center.

  • Work with the Context Manager Center pagelet.

The Context Manager Center navigation collection and its pagelet are delivered to provide convenient access to the activities involved in using Context Manager.

Note: Navigation collections provide you with a flexible tool for building alternative taxonomies of the contents stored in your portal registry. These alternative taxonomies, or groupings of links to portal content, can then be deployed to different users or groups of users, creating navigation that specifically addresses your users' business needs.

To access the Context Manager Center select Portal Administration > Context Manager Center.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Context Manager Center. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
