Create a Portal Site on SAP Cloud Platform on Cloud Foundry

When you access the Portal service, the Site Directory is in focus. From here you will create your new Portal site.

1. In the Site Directory, click Create New Site.

   

2. Enter JobCore Portal as the site name and click Create.

   The Site Editor opens in a new tab.

   When you create a new site, by default, there is already a Launchpad page available for you. You can see the default Launchpad page in focus.

   

Once you’ve created your site, you can go back to the Site Directory to see that your new site is now represented by a tile. In future, each time you want to edit your site, you can click the pencil icon from this tile. You can also delete the site from here and you can also preview it to see how it looks at runtime.

1. Click + at the bottom of the Pages panel of the Site Manager.

   

2. Select the Anchor Navigation page template.

3. Enter JobCore as the Page Name.

4. Click Add.

   

Now we have a page called JobCore and we have the default Launchpad page. Let’s add them both to the site menu.

1. Click the Menu icon in the side panel.

   

2. The Menu Editor opens. Click Click here to add an item to open the Add Menu Item screen.

   

3. Set the following values:

   Field Name	Value
   Display Name	Home
   Item Type	Page
   Select Page	JobCore

4. Click Add. This takes you back to the Menu Editor. You will see that the page you called Home has been added to the site’s menu.

   

5. Click Save.

   

6. Now add the Launchpad page to the site menu. Hover over the Home menu item.

   

7. Click the + icon on the right and then click Add Item to open the Add Menu Item screen.

   

8. Enter the following values:

   Field Name	Value
   Display Name	My Apps
   Item Type	Page
   Select Page	Launchpad

9. Click Add.

   

10. Click Save in the editor.

    

Note that both the Launchpad and Home pages appear in the site menu.

1. Click the Pages icon to go back to the Pages panel.

   

2. Click the downward facing arrow next to the JobCore page, and then click Set as home page.

   

   Now you have a Portal site called the JobCore Portal with 2 pages. Both pages are part of the site menu and the JobCore page (your Home page) is set as the first page that opens when a user logs on to your site.

   In the next tutorial you’re going to add web content to the Home page.
