A portal is a page that is comprised of one or more information zones. Good examples of portals are those used by most of us when we setup Yahoo, MSNBC, etc. for our own personal use. For example, in Yahoo, we can indicate we want our portal to show zones containing our stock portfolio, the news headlines, and the local weather.
In your application, there are several pages that are made up of information zones. And, just like in Yahoo, users can indicate which of these zones they want to see on each of the portal pages (and the order in which they appear).
The contents of this section describe how portals have been implemented in the system. Please see the specific product documentation for information describing specific portals.
