A “template pagelet publication” is an instance of a template pagelet. For example, Internal Contacts and External Contacts could be two publications of the Related Contacts template pagelet. Each publication is displayed as a separate pagelet using the label that is defined for the publication.

PeopleSoft Interaction Hub is delivered with one publication for each template pagelet. Therefore, this task is optional if you require the delivered template pagelets only. The portal administrator can define multiple publications for related contacts, related information, and related resources, but not for related discussions and related workspaces.

Access one of the following pages:

  • Related Contacts Publication page (Portal Administration, Context, Related Contacts, Define Publications).

  • Related Information Publication page (Portal Administration, Context, Related Information, Define Publications).

  • Related Resources Publication page (Portal Administration, Context, Related Information, Define Publications).

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Related Information Publication Page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
