To facilitate the creation of content for SAP NetWeaver Portal, Visual Composer provides the portal content modeling tools. These tools enable visual modeling, deployment and maintenance of portal content objects, such as iViews, pages, roles and worksets.
The following sections contain conceptual and background information about these tools, as well as detailed instructions how to use them.

Therefore this documentation in many cases does not provide full descriptions of certain tasks, but rather refers to the corresponding Visual Composer topics in Modeling Composite Views with Visual Composer .
