Mashup pages

Mashup pages display widgets instead of portlets in the portal.

You can either separate the two different types of pages into separate areas in the portal, for example a Home and a My Mashups area, but you can also use both types of pages concurrently. In this case be aware that portal pages use different themes than mashup pages do. This means that the user experience between portal and mashup pages might be different. Although mashup and portal pages share a lot of aspects, there are also differences. The following table gives more details of the behavior for different aspects:
