Change portlet settings

We can change the settings of each portlet listed in the Edit Layout portlet. These options are available from the drop-down menu on each portlet shown in the container. Each of these options opens a new window for changing the settings for the portlet. Depending on the access privileges, some of these options may not be available to you.

• Select Personalize this portlet to personalize a portlet. The updates you make here will only change the look of the portlet for you.

• Select Edit shared settings for this portlet to change the default look of a portlet for all users. The updates you make here will affect all users who view the portlet on a particular page. The changes will not be reflected on any instances of the portlet that appear on other pages.

• Select Configure to change the default look of a portlet for all users across all pages. The updates you make here will affect all users who view the portlet on any page.
