You can specify the size, type, and orientation for a portlet on the Main Settings page of the Portlet Editor.
Narrow: Narrow portlets can be added to narrow or wide columns. Columns extend to fit portlet content; therefore, if you choose narrow for a portlet that produces wide content, your portal might look awkward.
If you created this portlet from a portlet template that creates narrow portlets or if you are editing an existing a narrow portlet, you can change it to a Wide portlet but not to a header, footer, or content canvas portlet.
Wide: Wide portlets can be added only to wide columns.
If you created this portlet from a portlet template that creates wide portlets or if you are editing an existing a wide portlet, you can change it to a narrow portlet but not to a header, footer, or content canvas portlet.
Header: Header portlets can be added to communities, community templates, and experience definitions to change the branding of these objects by replacing a banner at the top of the page (so that it differs from the top banner displayed by the main portal).
You cannot change this setting if you created this portlet from a portlet template that creates header portlets or if you are editing an existing header portlet.
Footer: Footer portlets can be added to communities, community templates, and experience definitions to change the branding of these objects by replacing the banner at the bottom of the page (so that it differs from the bottom banner displayed by the main portal).
You cannot change this setting if you created this portlet from a portlet template that creates footer portlets or if you are editing an existing footer portlet.
Content Canvas: Content canvas portlets can be added below the top banner on community pages that include a content canvas space (specified in the page layout). Content canvas portlets can display across the entire width of the page or across one or two columns. You cannot add more than one content canvas portlet per page.
You cannot change this setting if you created this portlet from a portlet template that creates content canvas portlets or if you are editing an existing content canvas portlet.
