Using Xcelsius to Display Real-time CA Clarity PPM Data › Interactive Portlets

Interactive Portlets

Interactive portlets display visually rich CA Clarity PPM information in real time. Interactive portlets are created in CA Clarity PPM and contain Xcelsius visualizations. These visualization are exported as vector-based graphic Adobe Flash (.SWF) files and imported into CA Clarity PPM. Interactive portlets use global and object parameters with associated Flash variables to establish secured data transfers and to create context-aware visualizations.

Use interactive portlets to:

• Perform what-if analyses
• Set up alerts
• Drill down to go to more detailed information
• Mouseover areas to view more information

After the Xcelsius visualizations are imported into the interactive portlets, associate them with objects, such as the Project object or Resource object. You can make Xcelsius visualizations available on object pages. Users can personalize their pages and add interactive portlets anywhere in CA Clarity PPM, such as their overview page.

See the Personalizing CA Clarity PPM User Guide for more information.
