Create Portlet

Users can only create published content portlets in folders for which they have Producer rights or higher. Use this page to create a new published content portlet and edit the objects included in the portlet.

To create a published content portlet in Publisher:

1. Type the portlet folder name.
2. Choose the parent folder in which Publisher will create the portlet folder:
• To choose an existing folder, click Browse, choose the folder from the Select Folder dialog box, and click OK.
• To create a new parent folder, click New, choose the folder in which Publisher will create the new parent folder, and click OK. In the New Folder dialog box, type the name of the new folder and click OK again.
• To expand a folder, view its subfolders, and choose a subfolder, click the folder icon or the folder.
3. Click Finish to return to the Portlet Editor.
   Note: A folder with the name you entered in step 1 is created in Publisher; the associated data entry templates, presentation templates, and content items are put in the folder; and the folder is published to the Web server. When you click Finish again in the Portlet Editor you are prompted to save the portlet, and only at this time is the portlet published to the portal.

Editable objects are logical categories of Publisher objects, like content items, data entry templates, and presentation templates, that you can edit to change the appearance and functionality of the portlet. The editable object category names for each published content portlet are listed under Edit Objects in the left column of the Configure Portlet Wizard.

Click Next>> or <<Previous to scroll through each editable object category and edit the editable objects. You can also click an editable object category name to edit the editable objects.
