AquaLogic Interaction provides several features that work together to control your portal user interface.

• About Customizing the User Interface with Adaptive Layouts

  Adaptive layouts let you quickly change the look and feel of areas in the portal user interface using adaptive tags in standard XHTML. Adaptive layouts are displayed in the portal through remote portlet web services. Adaptive page layouts are applied at the experience definition level and affect the entire experience definition. Adaptive portlet layouts are applied at the My Page and community page level and affect only that page.

• About Controlling the User Interface with Experience Definitions and Experience Rules

  Experience definitions provide multiple user experiences within a single portal. An experience definition defines certain elements of a user experience, such as adaptive page layout settings, branding style, and navigation.

• About Branding with Header and Footer Portlets

  Branding portlets customize the look of your portal through the use of headers and footers. For example, you probably want to add your company logo and tagline to the header and you might want to add contact information or copyrights to the footer.

• About Navigation Options

  The portal includes navigation schemes that allow you to select the menu layout and core navigation structure most appropriate for your bandwidth constraints, browser requirements, design needs, deployment size, and end-user expectations. You can also create your own navigation schemes, using the existing code as a starting point.

• Portal Interface Types

  Users can change their portal display to accommodate assistive technologies or slow internet connections.

• Editing Locale Settings

  Users can change their portal display to accommodate their time zone and locale.
