Work with portlet wires

Wires allow portlets to interact with each other.

For example, portlets can exchange information, or an action in one portlet can update another portlet.

A wire allows two or more portlets to transfer information so that an action, publishing event, or click in a source portlet automatically triggers an action or event and updates the display in the target portlet. As a result, multiple portlets can be updated simultaneously when information is changed. We can create wires only between cooperative portlets and portlets that define eventso developed to share information with other portlets. When you first open the Wires portlet, all public wires and the personal wires for the page are displayed.

Use the Wires portlet to perform the tasks described in the following topics.

1. While you make changes to the wires on its page, the page is deactivated.
2. While we edit the page, all changes are effective immediately. We cannot undo or cancel the updates.
3. Other users will not be able to access the page until you commit the changes by clicking Done.
