IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5: User assistance for adminstrators

Configuring the Coach portlets

There are two Coach portlets already installed in WebSphere® Portal: one for use on a dynamic portal page and the other on a portal page. Both Coach portlets offer the same functionality in both page contexts. When a WebSphere Lombardi Edition task and WebSphere Business Process Manager task is selected in the Unified Task List portlet it displays the corresponding coach in the Coach portlet.

The Coach portlets included with the Unified Task List portlet must be configured with the specifics of your WebSphere Lombardi Edition server and WebSphere Business Process Manager server host name and port before they can be used.
