Personalizing the Portlets

WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration supports many personalization features and allow you to customize your experience. These features can be found in the Options Portlet, denoted by the check list icon on the Home portlet. There is no summary view of the Options portlet, clicking on the icon will open the General Options page.

 


General Preferences

In the General Preferences menu you can choose among the following locales:

By selecting one of these languages from the drop-down menu, the portlets will be translated into that locale including the language and the appearance of dates. You can also select the appropriate time zone from the drop down menu. A change in either of these settings will affect all the portlets. Save your changes by clicking Save.

 


Home Preferences

In the Home Preferences menu you can modify how you view the data in each summary view for Calendar, Tasks, and Mail. You can also choose to view an overall summary view or not. By deselecting the summary view option, you will see the mail summary view instead of the general summary when clicking on the Home icon.

 


Mail Preferences

In the Mail Preferences menu you can modify how you will view the information in the maximized mail portlet. Various mail options can be configured to affect the mail view such as the order in which messages appear, how many messages should appear per page, and even the color of the new mail indicator. Check off or select the desired options and click Save to save your changes.

You also have the option of adding a custom signature to all your outgoing messages. To create a mail signature, click the Signature link under Mail Options. Enter the text that will be added to the bottom of all your outgoing messages. Check the box for Add signature to outgoing messages and click Save.

 


Calendar Preferences

In the Calendar Preferences menu you can configure the default view of the maximized calendar portlet from day to week, month or year. You can also determine the time intervals on your day view from 15 minutes to 1 hour and the start day in your week view from the current day to any other day of the week.

 


Contacts Preferences

In the Contacts Preferences menu, select the number of contacts to be displayed per page from 10 up to 100.

 


Tasks Preferences

In the Tasks Preferences menu, select the number of tasks to be displayed per page from 10 up to 100. In addition, select how you want tasks to be filtered and/or sorted. You can also change the color of the overdue task indicator.

 


Accounts

WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration gives you the ability to view multiple Microsoft Exchange and/or Lotus Domino accounts without having to log in and out of the portal. To add multiple accounts, click the Accounts link in the Options Portlet.

Click Add to open the Add Account page. Enter in the appropriate information for that account. Your portal administrator will determine how much of this information needs to be entered. Contact your portal administrator if you do not know the correct account or connection information. Click Save to save your changes.

The next time you view the main Inbox page in the mail portlet, you will see all the accounts you have added in an Accounts menu on the left side. To view the mail in that account, click on it. All of the mail in the inbox as well as in the personal folders will appear.
