Summary
The portlet summary supports displaying up to 500 rows, the expanded portlet supports up to 1000
rows. Using the portlet filtering capability makes more sense than trying to see more rows. (See
Defining Advanced Filters on page 147 for instructions.)
To act on listed items, right-click the item and then make a selection from the popup menu. The
menu options available depend on the portlet and the row selected.
To see information about listed items in a portlet, hover over the row until a large tooltip displays
more details.
NOTE:
Portlet for Reports, Report Templates, Action and Compliance have a pre-seeded drop down list filters to
allow quick filtering of portlet rows.
Footer
The footer lists the number of items returned, the limit reached in red if you specified a maximum
for the list, and the navigation buttons. The navigation buttons are the standard go to first/last
page, move back/forward one page at a time, and select the page to go to.
Hint
The hint at the bottom of the portlet lets the user know that right-clicking the table opens a popup
menu (context menu) listing the available actions. By default, this hint is there for every portlet. If
you
do not want the hint showing, set the show.portal.hints attribute to false in the server-
overrides.properties file. See
Hiding Portlet Hint Text on page 145 for detailed instructions.
Displays online help for the selected portlet. Once you access the online help, you also
have the option to search the help for other topics.
Opens a Settings window, where you filter the results and specify which columns to
include and their settings. In some portlets, such as Alarms, this option can configure
whether charts or graphs appear. See Modifying Column Settings on page 146 for
instructions.
Column selections from the portlet are not propagated to the maximized view. If you
want the same columns for both views, you must select them for each view.
Isolates the browser’s page refresh to the selected portlet so that you do not have to load
the entire window again. After you modify a portlet’s settings, click the refresh tool to see
your changes.
