Lotus Discovery Server Version 5.02 Portlets

---

Lotus Discovery Server portlets allow the user access to Lotus Discovery Server applications.

For information about working with any of the Lotus Discovery Server portlets, see the Portlet Help that is available from the portlet title bar.

 

Use the Lotus Discovery Server portlets

There are three Lotus Discovery Server portlets:

• Lotus Discovery Server Knowledge Map launches the organization's Discovery Server Knowledge Map, which users can browse or search. The full Knowledge Map component of Lotus Discovery Server is displayed in a new browser window.
• Lotus Discovery Server Mini-Search launches the Mini-Search component of the Discovery Server Knowledge Map. This component lets users specify criteria and search the Knowledge Map for documents, people, and specific content using keywords with predefined search criteria. Mini-Search results are displayed in a new browser window.
• Lotus Discovery Server Search Results displays the results of a predefined search of the Discovery Server Knowledge Map. Search results are displayed in the portlet.

 

Portlet security

Users must have the appropriate access to the Lotus Discovery Server that has been set up for use with Lotus Collaborative Components (LCC). If necessary for access to the full Knowledge Map, LCC logs the user into the Discovery Server, so the user does not have to enter a name and password for any of these portlets.

 

Test assumptions

The Lotus Discovery Server portlets have been tested on and are compatible with all supported WebSphere Portal platforms, as listed in Supported hardware and software .
