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. |
