Your complete portal content consists of the minimum default content of the standard user, and the iViews and pages assigned to your roles. These iViews and pages can be individual nodes in your navigation panel, or parts of folders and roles.

This section details the operations you can perform to personalize your portal.

Features

iViews

  • An iView is a program that retrieves data from an information source in your company or on the Internet, and displays it in the portal content area.

  • All areas that comprise your portal desktop are iViews.

Pages

  • A page consists of one or more iViews, and a layout that determines the physical arrangement of the iViews.

Layouts

  • To create a visually harmonious and balanced layout, and provide flexibility for browser font settings and window sizes, the portal supports nine different predefined page layouts.

  • Each page may have more than one layout available to it.

  • You may have access to custom layouts created by your administrator.

Content

  • Related iViews are usually organized on the same page for easier task performance.

  • Depending upon your permissions, you can personalize each page by choosing which content to display and its placement on the page.
