Adding a Page
Pages allow you to organize commonly used portlets into a single location for easy access or to
group portlets by tasks you perform. For example, group tasks used to monitor and resolve network
health on a single page. You have the option to add NFV pages to the menu bar, add child pages to
existing pages, or a combination of both.
Add any needed pages to the OpenManage Network Manager (OMNM) application as follows.
