Customize the Applications palette
WebSphere Portal includes ready to use portlets we can browse through in the site toolbar. To ease browsing, WebSphere Portal supports assigning portlets to one or more categories. As the site administrator, we can create, delete, and modify categories and assign portlets to them.
Categories are represented as labels or external URLs, and can be managed with the Manage Pages portlet. All categories are in the category root label identifiable by the unique name...
com.ibm.portal.toolbar.applications.category.label.root
...which is a label in the hidden pages label.
Categories are shown by the toolbar's Applications palette where categories appear with said localized title.
The following categories are available for immediate use:
- All
- Administration
- Collaboration
- Web Content
- Tools
- Create new applications and categories for the site toolbar
- Create categories using external URLs
- Hide portlets within Applications palette categories
- Modify and delete Applications palette categories
