Copying portlets

Use Manage Portlets to copy a portlet. If a portlet is copied or a remote portlet is integrated, a new portlet application is created by the portal that holds the new portlet. When you copy a portlet, give the copy a new name.

• The portlet data and the portlet application data are copied. An example of portlet data is the portlet configuration parameters needed for a particular instance of a portlet. This data is specific to each portlet instance.
• The copied portlet application uses the same resources as the original portlet application. An example of a portlet resource is an image that the portlet displays in the user interface. All instances of the portlet use the same image.
