Portlet Basics

Anything that you create or configure to display inside your college portal is considered a portlet. A portlet is basically a "container" for the thing you are creating or configuring to display.

...

  1. Navigate to Tenant Admin tab-> Portal Administration panel-> Manage portlets link to display the Portlet Registry screen.

  2. When you click the Edit link for a portlet the Edit Portlet screen will be displayed.

  3. Scroll down to the Lifecycle Management section and click the Option radio button that corresponds to the portlet state of Created, Approved, Published, Expired or Maintenance as needed. 

  4. If you want to set an optional expiration date for the portlet (only available when Approved or Published is selected), scroll down to the Automatic Expiration (optional) section and click in the Setting field to display a pop-up calendar where you can choose an expiration date. 

  5. After selecting the expiration date, drop-down list will be displayed so you can select the time (hour, minutes, and period of the day (AM or PM)) the portlet will expire.

Note: When the selected date and time are reached, the portlet will no longer display in the Portal and its state will automatically revert to the Option of Expired.

Each task has a duration and as the tasks on a card are completed, a green status bar shows current state of completion.
