• Overriding default project settings
  We can change default settings for a project by creating an override.properties file and storing it in the project's config folder.

   

• Additional configuration for alerts
  Enabling logs for tracing and server statistics are helpful alerting tools.

   

• Configure pages to launch as portlets
  The last step in configuring features is to place the portlets in your project on pages that can be opened on the application server.

   

• Testing your configuration settings
  Launch the portlets that contain the features you want to test to verify your configuration settings.
