Copying a portlet to multiple categories in the Portlet Palette
You can add a copy of a portlet in a category to multiple categories at one time if you have the proper access level. If you only need to add a copy of a portlet to a single category, you can simply drag a copy of the portlet to the appropriate category. A portlet is not removed from the original category when you add a copy of this portlet to multiple categories. Perform the following steps:
- Click
to open the Portlet Palette.
- Hover by the portlet name and click on the arrow to display the pop-up menu.
- Click Add to Other Categories.
- Select the check boxes of the appropriate categories to add the portlet to these categories.
- Click OK to save your changes.
- Click
to close the Portlet Palette.
General tips for working with the Portlet Palette are as follows:
- You should be logged in to the portal site using an ID with sufficient access rights to modify a page. Access control for customizing and working with the Portlet Palette is based on portlet roles, portlet modes, and page permissions. The portlets available to you are also filtered by any restricted portlet lists that exist for a page. Refer to Access control for the Portlet Palette and Modifying Portlet Palette settings for more detailed information.
- The drag-and-drop feature is present for default portal themes in rows and containers that are not locked.
- Entries in the Portlet Palette could become obsolete. For example, when an administrator deletes a portlet from the portal while a user is creating or editing pages, the user may not be aware of these updates. A user must log out and log back in to the portal to view the changes made by the administrator. If a user attempts to drag a portlet from the Portlet Palette when the portlet no longer exists, a message is recorded to the portal logs. Although this is a rare situation, administrators should not remove and add portlets during normal business hours.
