Portal Menus
There are several menus available in the portal that provide
access to information in your portal (such as communities and documents).
Your portal administrator or portal developer controls which menus
appear, including custom menus.
| Menu |
Description |
| My Profile |
Lets you view your user profile. User profiles
provide information about users, such as address and position. |
| My Pages |
Provides access to your My Pages. My Pages are your personalized view of the portal. You choose the
applications, tools, and services (in the form of portlets) that you
want to display on each My Page. For example, you might create a My
Page that includes a search tool for all the employees in your company
and a portlet that displays the most recent news about your company. |
| My Communities |
Lets you view and manage the communities to which you belong. Communities are sites
within a portal designed for a specific audience or task, such as
collaborative projects. You might have communities
based on departments in your company. For example, the Marketing department
might have a community containing press information, leads volumes,
a trade show calendar, and so on. The Engineering department might
have a separate community containing project milestones, regulatory
compliance requirements, and technical specifications. |
| Directory |
Provides access to the Knowledge Directory. The
Knowledge Directory is similar to a file system tree in that documents
are organized in folders and subfolders. A folder can contain documents
uploaded by users or imported by content crawlers, as well as links
to people, portlets, and communities. If your administrator has given
you permission, you might also be allowed to add documents to the
Knowledge Directory, or submit yourself as an expert on a particular
topic. |
