6. Click the Add Portlets icon in a region to display the Add Portlets to Region page.

   To add portlets, you move portlets from the Available Portlets list to the Selected Portlets list.

7. In the Available Portlets area, select Discoverer Portlet Provider or navigate to where the Discoverer Portlet Provider is located and select it.

   Hint: If you are using a new Oracle install, the Discoverer portlets might be in the Portlet Staging Area folder. If you cannot find the Discoverer Portlet Provider, contact the Discoverer manager or Oracle Portal administrator.
