IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5: User assistance for adminstrators

Managing portlets

You can copy or delete a portlet, and change settings for a portlet. You can manage settings for remote portlets, such as checking to see if a portlet is available for adding to a page, or you can provide or withdraw a portlet as a WSRP service.

Searching
Use the search feature to search the portlet for portal resources by selecting the type of search and the appropriate search parameters. This way you can limit the number of portal resources listed in the portlet.
Checking the availability of a portlet
Check to see if a portlet is available so that you can add it to a page. This option appears only for remote portlets.
Providing a portlet through WSRP
As a WSRP Producer, you can provide portlets through WSRP to Consumers. Consumers can then integrate these portlets into their portal remotely and use them.
Withdrawing a portlet
You can withdraw portlets from being provided and being available through WSRP. Consumer portals can then no longer use them.
Copying a portlet
Make a copy of an existing portlet.
Blocking or unblocking requests to a portlet
You can block or unblock requests to a portlet. Usually you do this with portlets that Portlet load monitoring monitors. You can also check whether requests to a portlet have been blocked or whether the portlet can receive requests.
Modifying portlet settings
Select the caching method for a portlet; add, edit, or delete a preference or parameter/value pair; or set locale-specific titles and descriptions for a portlet.
Deleting a portlet
Delete a portlet from the portal.
Assigning access to a portlet
Click Assign access from the appropriate row, and use Resource Permissions to assign permissions to a portlet.
Configuring the Manage Portlets portlet
You can modify the search results of this portlet by selecting either Edit shared settings or Configuration from the portlet menu.
