Configuration Overview

Many pages and portlets contain lists that can be configured. Pages, portlets, and filters of the following can be configured:

You can change the type of data that is displayed on a list page or portlet, and you can edit the filtering options and layout. For example, the default Resource List page displays resource data by resource name, ID, email address, and resource and employee type. You might find it more helpful to add a column that displays the resource’s role on the page as well. Similarly, the Resource List filter allows you to search by resource name and ID and other factors.

Several options are available to change the appearance of fields and columns on a page or portlet. You can delete fields or portlets from a page, or move them to a different part of the page. You may want to add fields or portlets to a page. No special programming or software knowledge is required.

You can configure page/portlet layout and graphic displays:

Note: If a page or portlet contains too many columns, filters, and aggregated fields, the dynamic query that searches for and displays data for your page might be overwhelmed by the amount of data it is asked to search for. This occurs when there are too many columns or too many aggregate functions for the query to manage in the database block to which it is allotted. A generic system error can occur during the query. You must remove some columns or aggregate functions from the page or portlet layout.
