Portlet Form Features

Portlet forms are the form types you use to create portlets intended for use in the Oracle Portal or the Collaborative Portal.

Note: Portlet forms are supported in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne version 8.11 and might not function correctly in older versions of the software.

Portlet forms have these general characteristics:

  • All regular controls can be placed on portlet forms.

  • Multiple tab controls are permitted.

  • Toolbar and form/row exits are not permitted on a portlet form.

  • You must add action buttons to a portlet form.

    No default action buttons are defined by Form Design Aid (FDA).

  • Default actions can be placed anywhere on the portlet form.

  • Portlet forms do not contain scroll bars; you must display all controls within the form.

  • Portlet forms support the Fetch on Business View and Update on Business View form property options.

  • You can nest reusable and embedded subforms in portlet forms.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools provides two types of portlet forms: browse portlets and edit portlets. Browse portlets enable the display of and queries for information. Edit portlets enable user edit functions—adding, changing, and deleting table information.

If you include a form interconnection in a portlet, the portal containing it will automatically resize the portlet to its maximum size when the user triggers the interconnection. When the user closes the application, the portlet returns to its normal size.
