Work with administration portlets

Work with the portal administration portlets allows us to customize the administration portlet and its features, such as, defining the number of rows to display in a table.

To work with the portal administration portlets, click Administration. The portal displays the navigation for the administration portlets.

Before we use the portal administration portlets, read the concept and background information for administrative tasks. Refer to the appropriate topics in the Administer section of this portal information center. For detailed steps for performing portal administrative tasks refer to the help of each portlet.

We can customize the administration portlets using the Configure mode of the portlet.

For example, we can configure features such as the layout of the portlet and the number of rows to display.

Search for portal resources in administration portlets

Portal administration portlets that list portal resources, such as pages, portlets, users or virtual portals, provide a search feature. We can search for resources available in the portlet. We can use an asterisk ( * ) as a wildcard character for the search. Below is a list of some search types. Their availability differs between portlets.. It depends on the portal resource type that the portlet administers.

For title search:

By default, searches for Title starts with and Title contains return only portal resources with titles in the locale of the current portal session. Configure portal administration portlets to return search results across all supported locales, regardless of the locale of the current portal session or the locale set in the browser. To perform this configuration:

1. Access the Manage Portlets portlet.

2. Locate the administration portlet for which to configure search of resources across all locales. To locate, use the search feature described earlier.

3. Click the Configure portlet icon for the portlet.

4. Add the parameter searchByTitle.all.locales with the value true.

5. Click Add and OK.

The default value of the parameter searchByTitle.all.locales is false . Searches for portal resources return results only in the locale of the current portal session or the locale set in the browser. Note that configuring search across all locales can have an impact on the search performance.

For the Users and Groups portlet:

Search 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
