Overview of Desktops

A desktop is a view of the portal that the visitor accesses. There can be one or more desktops per portal, so the portal is effectively a container for the desktops.

A desktop contains all the portlets, content, and look and feel elements necessary to create individual user views of a portal. All users access the default before they define their own desktops.

The hierarchy is as follows:

• Enterprise Application
  • Portal Web Application
    • Portal
      • Desktop
        • Book
          • Page
            • Portlet

You can create one or more desktops per portal, and tailor each desktop for a target audience.
