Manage portlets on a page
The Portlet Palette provides you with a collection of portlets that you can drag to the page for quick and easy page customization.
The Portlet Palette is available in the Portal theme. To open the Portlet Palette, click the expand arrow icon:
The Portlet Palette is designed to work in the fly-out palette. Adding the Portlet Palette to a page could result in undesired results.
You can organize and group the portlets available to you for deployment from collection through the use of categories. Categories provide you with a way to organize portlets using own classification scheme. You can create new categories for grouping and organizing portlets in collection, and you can rename categories as appropriate. You can customize the Portlet Palette further by rearranging categories, adding portlets to categories, and by moving portlets from one category to another. You can also search by title for portlets of interest. You can apply these customizations to individual instance of the Portlet Palette or change the settings to affect all or selected instances of the Portlet Palette as needed.
When working with the Portlet Palette, keep the following tips in mind:
- 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.
