You use this activity to create and modify portlets.

You create portlets by specifying the report you want to display in the Executive Dashboard Viewer and the attributes of the area of the screen you want to display it in (see Executive Dashboard Viewer).

The portlets defined in this activity are assigned to Executive Dashboards (see Executive Dashboard Maintenance).

Fields

The following table describes fields requiring explanation:

Field

Name

Portlet Name

The name of the portlet

Note that the system comes with many predefined portlets. You choose the portlet you want by its report name. If desired, change its attributes and save the portlet under a new, similar name.

Caution Caution

Though you can add all the available sizes to any portlet, we recommended that you use the sizes that are assigned to system standard portlets. Adding a larger or smaller size to one of the system's standard portlets may cause the portlet to be displayed unreadable.
