Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft SharePoint 2003 in 10 Minutes

A Basic Page can be useful, but it's not nearly as functional as a Web Part Page. A Web Part Page can display multiple types of information to your users all at the same time. For example, you can have a stock ticker, a document library, a list of links, a discussion group, and many other sources of content all directed to the end user simply by creating a Web Part Page and adding the respective Web Parts to it.

To create a Web Part Page in Windows SharePoint Services, follow the procedure outlined here:

1.

From the home page of the site, select Create from the top menu bar.

2.

Under the Web Pages section, click Web Part Page.

3.

Enter a name for the Web Part Page in the Name field. This name will use the .aspx extension.

4.

Choose a layout template for the Web Part Page, as shown in Figure 21.2. The template you choose will determine how many zones your Web Part Page will have. You'll find more information on the different zone options in the next section of this lesson.

5.

Under Save Location, choose which document library to place the Web Part Page in.

6.

Click Create.

CAUTION

Choose wisely when considering what types of zones to add to your Web Part Page. Web browsers with low screen resolutions, such as 1024x768 or lower, may not show all the data in the zones, which may make your site visually unappealing. Be sure to test out different combinations of zones and Web Parts on different client resolutions to find what works best for your site.

The final step in the creation of the Web Part Page is adding the Web Parts to the page. The page will open after it is created, with the zones you chose, as shown in Figure 21.3. Add the Web Parts you feel are necessary. For more information on adding and modifying Web Parts, see Lesson 18, "Adding and Linking Web Parts."
