Applications List
The applications list is displayed when you select the Add > Applications menu option. The
application (portlet) list shows some portlets with a purple icon and others with green icons.
The
purple icon indicates that you can add only one instance to a community and it displays the
same data, even if it appears on more that one page, such as the Hierarchical View portlet. These
are referred to as non-instanceable portlets. Once you add a non-instanceable portlet to a page, its
entry in the applications list is disabled (grayed out).
Max Items per Page Sets the maximum number of items displayed per page. Valid values are 4 to
100.
For performance reasons, this default value is often relatively low.
Current Filter Provides a list of user-defined filters from which to choose. The product
ships with a default filter.
Depending on your permissions, you have the option to create a filter or copy
the currently selected filter from which you create a filter.
The expanded portlet does not include this option. See Defining Advanced
Filters on page 147 for alternatives.
Note: An administrator configures a portlet’s default display filter and then
clicks the portlet name and renames it. For example, make the default filter
in the Managed Resources portlet to display only Dell Routers, then click the
Managed Resources portlet name to rename it to Dell Routers.
If you are not an administrator, you must make a personal page for such
portlets if you want the filter settings to persist (not applicable in
multitenant environments).
Context Mode Specifies which of the following context modes the selected portlet uses:
• Listen for Context
• Ignore Context (default)
• Broadcast Context
• Broadcast and Listen for Context
• Not all portlets have all option.
Columns Displays a list of columns, their settings, and whether a column is hidden.
Select the Column tab to display the columns. The default columns
displayed and the available columns vary with each portlet.
If you have many instances of a portlet in your environment, the changes
made to the portlet or maximized portlet are not global, they apply only to
the current portlet or its maximized portlet.
Click the Settings button to specify whether the width is automatically set
(Auto Width) or specify a specific pixel width. Auto Width is the default.
The grayed out Show/Hide button indicates the selection for the column.
