Use the following steps to add smart text, such as the current date, current user, or current page to the page.

You must be logged on as a page owner or an authorized user with the appropriate page or item-level privileges to add items.

To add a file item to a page:

1. Navigate to the page on which you want to add the item.

   Note: If you do not see the page that you want to work with, you may not have the appropriate page access privileges. See your page group administrator to gain access.

2. Switch to Edit mode.

3. Click in the region in which you want to add the item.

   Note: If (the add item icon) does not display next to the region, the region may be a portlet region (and may contain portlets). In this case, you cannot add items to this region.

4. From the Built-In Navigation Item Types list, choose Portal Smart Text.

   Note: If this item type does not appear in the list, contact your page group administrator. Your administrator selects which item types to display here.

5. Click Next.

6. Select a Text Type.

7. Click Finish.
