Portal on device enables you to display items in a toolbox on both smartphone and tablet devices. The toolbox is an overlaying list of launchable items, such as Favorites or Contacts, which you open and close using a tab on the left side of the mobile framework page. When the user selects an item in the toolbox, it is launched in the content area of the page.

You can display an iView or a page in the toolbox by setting the value of its Mobile Perspective property to Toolbox.

Procedure

  1. In the portal, navigate to   Content Administration   Portal Content Management  .

  2. In the Portal Catalog, locate your mobile role and from the context menu choose   Open   Role  .

  3. Select the iView or page to display in the toolbox and choose   Open   Properties  .

  4. In the All tab, choose Modify Properties.

  5. Locate the Mobile Perspective property, and select Toolbox.

  6. Save your changes.

Note Note

On tablet devices, you can also display items in an extended toolbox, which is a second-level list that opens next to the toolbox.

To display an item in an extended toolbox, in addition to setting the value of its Mobile Perspective property to Toolbox Extended, you also need to implement a portal component that provides the data to display in the extended toolbox, using the JSON list API.
