In-Depth Information
You may notice when looking at the definition of a Global Page in the APEX page editor (Figure
5-36
) that there
is no Page Processing section. Global Pages are only used during page rendering. Regions that are added to a Global
Page are included even on the Login page. You need to consider the different page types in an application when
adding content to a Global Page.

■
although the apeX Builder lets you add calculations, validations, and processes to a global page, these
items don't execute.
Caution
Creating a Global Page is like creating any other page in an APEX application. However, once it's created, it's no
longer available in the Creation Options list for that UI type. Let's create a Global Page for the desktop interface:
1.
From the
application page list
, click the
Create Page
button.
2.
Select
Global Page
from the
Page Type
list. Figure
5-37
shows the Global Page option,
which should be near the bottom of the list.
