Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Real Estate Management for ALM Portal Pack

If you are currently using Real Estate Management and want to use the Real Estate Management pagelets in the ALM Portal Pack, you must schedule and run the Real Estate Portal Data Collector Application Engine process (RE_PGLT_DATA). The Real Estate Portal Data Collector process summarizes transaction data in order to improve response times when viewing the pagelets. The data is stored in summary tables and is displayed on pagelets according to your personalized settings. While the Real Estate Portal Data Collector greatly improves response times for reading the data, it also imposes limitations on when changes to the transaction data are reflected in the pagelets. Changes in the transaction data are not reflected in the pagelets in real time. You must periodically rerun the Real Estate Portal Data Collector process to refresh the pagelets. We recommend setting up a recurring job to execute the Real Estate Portal Data Collector on a periodic basis. How often you run the collector process depends on a number of factors such as:

Click to jump to parent topicSetting Up Portal Pack Default Administration

This section provides an overview and discusses how to set up portal pack default administration.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Portal Pack Default Administration

The portal pack default administration page enables you to establish default values you want to view on your pagelets. When setting up the Real Estate Management system, you need to first identify default values from an administrative level. The administrative settings provide the default personalization values that individual users inherit if they do not establish their own values. The administration values can only be established at the Administration level. Once the administrative default values are defined, each user can establish their own defaults through the Portal Pack Default Administration page.
