Enable Portlet through Configuration

Parameter	Description
id [Portlet]	A unique identifier for the portlet. It uniquely distinguishes a portlet in the CentraSite registry. If you want to reset the portlet at a later stage, you identify the portlet using this id.
description	A comment or descriptive information about the portlet.
type	The type of portlet. CentraSite Business UI supports the following portlet types: text iframe graphical custom
dataFeed	Required for text/graphical type. Name of a saved search query that feeds in the data to the portlet.
url	Required for iframe type. An arbitrary URL that points to any external HTML page. It renders the HTML content within an HTML IFRAME on the portlet.
icon	An icon to display at the top left corner of the portlet header. The icon is specified as the path to an image file. Prerequisite: The icon must be in PNG format. To ensure proper alignment when it is displayed in the user interface, the icon must be 16 x 16 pixels in size. The icon must reside in the folder <CentraSiteInstall_Directory>\cast\cswebapps\BusinessUI\images\system. The path for the icon should be specified as images/system/icon.png
row, column	The row and column number to place a portlet in the Welcome page. By default, the portlet is configured to start at level 0. Thus a setting of 0 (zero) refers to the first portlet in the Welcome page. For example, if you want to place a portlet in second row and fourth column, you will need to specify row=1 column=3. However, if at a later state, you attempt to drag and drop a portlet in the Welcome page, it automatically updates the GUI configuration in the repository. Important: To define a portlet of type custom, ensure that you have set the value of row=-1 column=-1 in order to dynamically place the custom portlet in your Welcome page.
isVisible	To show or hide the portlet in the Welcome page when you log in to CentraSite Business UI for the first time after product installation. Once you have logged in, you can show or hide the portlet directly from the Welcome page. Possible values: true (default value) – show the portlet or false – hide the portlet.
refresh Interval	The time interval (in seconds) to refresh your portlet content automatically. Note: A value 0 is indicates that the portlet content will not be refreshed automatically.
actions	Actions that you want to display in the portlet's configuration. By default, CentraSite supports the following actions: Configure Refresh Note: You can specify a comma separated list of actions. Important: When you define a custom action, ensure that you do not specify any of the inherited actions (for example, Expand, Collapse, and Close) explicitly.

Parameter	Description
id [PortletAction]	A unique identifier for the action. It uniquely distinguishes an action in the CentraSite registry. If you want to reset the action at a later stage, you identify the action using this id.

Parameter	Description
id [PortletParameter]	A unique identifier for the parameter. It uniquely distinguishes the portlet's parameter in the CentraSite registry. If you want to reset the parameter at a later stage, you identify the parameter using this id.
ref	The specified unique identifier for the portlet.
params	Parameters that you want to display in the portlet's configuration. The parameter values determine which data displays in the portlet. When you define a parameter, keep the following points in mind: A value separator (#VSEP#) is required between the parameter name and the value. Thus, for example, if you want to define a parameter noOfAssets with value 10, you can write the parameter name-value pair as noOfAssets#VSEP#10 A parameter separator (#PSEP#) is required between the multiple parameters. Thus, for example, if you want to define two parameters, one parameter noOfAssets with value 10, and another parameter assetTypeKeys with value uddi:cd906138-59f5-4d7f-4f5f-6115adfa8d9c, you can write the above parameters as params="noOfAssetsToReturn#VSEP#10#PSEP#asset TypeKeys#VSEP#uddi:cd906138-59f5-4d7f-4f5f- 6115adfa8d9c" An array separator (#ASEP#) is required between multiple values (that is, an array of values). Thus, for example, if you want to assign a parameter assetTypeKeys with more than one value (uddi:cd906138-59f5-4d7f-4f5f-6115adfa8d9c, uddi:cd906138-59f5-4d7f-4f5f-6115adfa8e3d), you can write the parameter as assetTypeKeys#VSEP#uddi:cd906138-59f5-4d7f-4f5f- 6115adfa8d9c#ASEP#uddi:cd906138-59f5-4d7f-4f5f- 6115adfa8e3d

settingsPopupColumnCount	The number of columns to display in the Configure Your Welcome Page dialog.
helpUrl	The URL of the standard Help Center that's delivered with the CentraSite Business UI.
