Working with Pages overview

Pages are mostly what the name implies: web pages. However, they are only accessible to users who are logged in to your Polarion system. Pages differ from Documents in that they do not contain Work Items like requirements and test cases. However, Pages can show information about Work Items and other artifacts in your projects and repository.

When you create a new Page, you can choose one of the following:

• LiveReport Page: Page with a layout for a report with charts that retrieve, aggregate, and/or format Work Item and other project data. You build these pages visually using a set of user-configurable charting and other Widgets, and the rich-text formatting tools provided in the Page Designer.

• Info Page: Page with a layout for any kind of free-form textual information, such as guidelines, internal documentation, and guidelines. You build these pages using the rich-text editing tools provided in the Page Designer. Images and tables are supported.

The main difference in these types is in the page layout. You can use Widgets in both types. Some page features, such as the ability to extend Widgets with scripting or create reports, may be limited or unavailable with some product licenses.

When creating a new Page, the Classic Wiki Page option is also offered. These pages use the product's original Wiki technology. It is recommended that you use LiveReport and Info Pages for new reports and informational pages. For information on working with existing Classic Wiki pages, see Using Classic Wiki.
