Adding Portlets

Adding Portlets

Implement Portlet as an Extension

Enable Portlet through Configuration

Portlets enable you to create shortcuts and access the frequently-used functions, for example, Most Popular Assets, Recent Searches, and so on.

The Welcome page contains a default set of portlets, where each portlet represents a collection of predefined entries fetched using a saved search query.

You can define portlets to suit your needs and configure the tailored portlet to display in the Welcome page.

Additionally, you can customize the way in which you want portlet to render:

You can add a portlet of type custom.

You can define the configuration settings of the custom portlet.

You can specify a display icon to represent the custom portlet in the Welcome page.

You can make the custom portlet visible or invisible in the Welcome page.

You can specify a location for displaying the custom portlet in the Welcome page.

You can set the refresh interval for the custom portlet.
