Portlets
Portlets are the information display components of the CentraSite Business UI. A portlet can process requests from the user and generate dynamic content such as report lists, notifications or performance metrics. In addition to a set of standard portlets, CentraSite provides a framework that enables you to define and deploy custom portlets that meet your requirements.
Portlets that are created with the framework provided in the CentraSite Business UI have a standard appearance. A portlet includes a title bar with icons that link to portlet actions, and a list of content items as shown in the following example:
The CentraSite Business UI includes a default set of portlets. For a list of the design/change-time portlets and run-time portlets that CentraSite preships, see Built-in Portlets Reference.
