Use custom pages and themes for administrative portlets

Administrative portlets include all of the portlets that appear on the administrative pages when you navigate to Administration.

Administrative portlets are listed in Portal administration portlets.

Administrative portlets depend on services provided by the portal themes. Most important, the <portal:adminNavHelper/> tag must be present in the parent JSPs (Default.jsp and Plain.jsp) for any theme to support administrative portlets.


Move administrative portlets to custom pages

The WebSphere Portal server relies on the Admin Unique Names Mapping Service to locate the page where specific administrative portlets are located. If you need to move one of these portlets to a different page, you can take one of these approaches.

  1. Place the portlet on the custom page, but leave a copy on the original page.

  2. Update the WP AdmininstratorUniqueNamesMappingService with the new unique name of the page where the portlet is located, as described in Set service configuration properties. Refer to Administrator Unique Names Mapping Service.

  3. Remove the unique name from the portlet's previous page and assign it to the new page.
