Delete a portlet from a Palette category
You can delete a portlet from a category in the Portlet Palette as needed.
When working with the Portlet Palette, keep the following tips in mind:
To delete a portlet from a category, perform the following steps:
- You should be logged in to the portal site using an ID with sufficient access rights to modify a page. Access control for customizing and working with the Portlet Palette is based on portlet roles, portlet modes, and page permissions. The portlets available to you are also filtered by any restricted portlet lists that exist for a page.
- The drag-and-drop feature is present for default portal themes in rows and containers that are not locked.
- Entries in the Portlet Palette could become obsolete. For example, when an administrator deletes a portlet from the portal while a user is creating or editing pages, the user may not be aware of these updates. A user must log out and log back in to the portal to view the changes made by the administrator. If a user attempts to drag a portlet from the Portlet Palette when the portlet no longer exists, a message is recorded to the portal logs. Although this is a rare situation, administrators should not remove and add portlets during normal business hours.
- The Portlet Palette does not support the use of double quotes in category names.
- The Portlet Palette is available in the Portal theme.
- Click the expand arrow icon to open the Portlet Palette.
- Hover by the portlet name and click on the arrow to display the pop-up menu.
- Click Delete Portlet.
- Click OK to confirm that you want to delete this portlet from category.
- Click the collapse arrow icon to close the Portlet Palette.
