Understanding Enterprise Portal Pagelet DescriptionsThe Enterprise Portal pagelets discussed in this chapter can be classified into one of the following pagelet types:
Homepage pagelets.
Homepage pagelets are primarily selected and laid out by the user and appear on the user's homepage.
Users can configure their portal homepages with three narrow columns or one narrow and one wide column. Some pagelets have both a narrow and a wide version, each with its own object name. When this documentation provides two object names for a pagelet, the first one refers to the narrow version.
Template pagelets.
Template pagelets are configured by a portal administrator and appear in the menu frame alongside a destination target page.
We provide a table for each of these pagelet types that provides the following information about the pagelets:
The pagelet name.
A pagelet description.
The functional role of the person who would typically use the pagelet.
The pagelet’s enabling feature.
Note. The enabling feature provides the data that appears on the pagelet. If you have not implemented the enabling feature, the pagelet will not work as designed.
