Warning

You are looking at documentation for an older release. Not what you want? See the current release documentation.

This section tells you how to access the Edit mode of a portlet and edit it.

  1. Define your desired portlet to check if this portlet has been existing in the portal or page. If not, drag and drop it from Edit Inline Composer to the main portal body while editing the portal's layout, or editing a page.

  2. Hover your cursor over your desired portlet, then click at the upper left corner of that portlet.

    The Edit form will be displayed.

    Normally, a portlet has four tabs: Portlet Setting, Select Icon, Decoration Themes and Access Permission. However, some portlets may also have Edit Mode and Preferences tabs. For example, IFrame and Dashboard portlets have the Edit Mode tab where administrators can define the interface details.

  3. Make changes on fields in the various tabs.
