Administration portlets

Administration portlets

Portal administration portlets allow customization of the administration portlet and its features, such as, defining the number of rows to display in a table. To work with the portal administration portlets, click the Administration menu icon. Portal displays the navigation for the administration portlets.
We can customize the administration portlets by using the configure mode of the portlet. For example, we can configure features such as the layout of the portlet and the number of rows to display.

Searching for portal resources in administration portlets

Portal administration portlets that list portal resources, such as pages, portlets, users, or virtual portals, provide a search feature. We can search for resources available in the portlet. We can use an asterisk ( * ) as a wildcard character for your search. Following is a list of some search types. Their availability differs between portlets. It depends on the portal resource type that the portlet administers.

Title starts with Search on the beginning of a string in the title. This setting is the default setting, and the input is expected in string format.

Notes:

For title search:

By default, searches for Title starts with and Title contains return only portal resources with titles in the locale of the current portal session. We can configure portal administration portlets to return search results across all supported locales, regardless of the locale of the current portal session or the locale set in the browser. To do this configuration, proceed as follows:

Access the Manage Portlets portlet.
Locate the administration portlet for which we want to configure search of resources across all locales. To locate, use the search feature that is described earlier.
Click the Configure portlet icon for the portlet.
Add the parameter searchByTitle.all.locales with the value true.
Click Add and OK.

The default value of the parameter searchByTitle.all.locales is false. Searches for portal resources return results only in the locale of the current portal session or the locale set in the browser.
Note: Configuring search across all locales can have an impact on the search performance..

For the Users and Groups portlet:

Searching with wild characters, such as the asterisk ( * ), is only supported for the User and Groups and User and Groups Permissions portlets. Wildcard character searches for the User and Groups and User and Groups Permissions portlets must have the asterisk ( * ) at the end or beginning of the search parameter. For example, the following searches are supported for the User and Groups and User and Groups Permissions portlets:

*user
user*
*user*

The following searches are not supported for the User and Groups and User and Groups Permissions portlets:

us*r
