About Portlets

Portlets are elements on the home page that display relevant information, for example reports, charts, or lists of searches.

Users can add portlets to their home page and customize these portlets to display the information that they use most often.
Users can define their own portlets if the administrators have set the Allow Portlet Definition global preference.
Users can collapse the portlet, or open it in a new window.
Administrators can define settings and portlets that are common for all users.
Administrators can make portlets mandatory for users. A mandatory portlet does not have a Close button and users cannot remove it from their home page.

Note: For more information about global settings, see the Platform Deployment Guide.
