Search for portal resources in administration portlets

Several administrative portlets have a table feature, which is used to list the available portal resources pertaining to the selected portlet. The layout of the table may vary, depending on the portlet. You can customize the table by clicking the configure icon in the portlet title bar. In configure mode, you can alter the total number of items that appear on the table and the number of rows that appear on each page of the table. Some portlets allow you to add optional columns to the table.

The search feature allows you to search available resources within that portlet. Searching with wild characters, such as the asterisk ( * ), is only supported for the User and Groups and User and Groups Permissions portlets. Wild card 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 only:

• *user

• user*

• *user*

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

• us*r
