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 collapse or move portlets to declutter their home page. They can also open portlets in a new window. For example, if they have an 'External' portlet on their home page that links to a favorite web site, they may prefer to view this portlet in a new window.
A personal portlet is shown on the home page of the user who created it. By default, personal portlets are not available to other users.
Note: A user can only create personal portlets if their user role has the 'Allow Portlet Creation' setting.
A global portlet can be included on the home page of any user.
Administrators can designate a new portlet as a global portlet by selecting the ‘Anyone can use this portlet’ checkbox when you specify the new portlet's parameters.
Note: Only administrators with the 'Admin: Manage iConsole' privilege can create global portlets.
A mandatory portlet does not have a Close button and users cannot remove it from their home page.
Administrators can designate a global portlet as mandatory by 'pinning' the portlet to every home page.
Note: Only administrators with the 'Admin: Manage iConsole' privilege can create mandatory portlets.
