Configuring Automatic Pagelet Refresh

To specify a pagelet refresh time in seconds:

  1. Select PeopleTools, and then Portal, and then Structure and Content.

  2. Click the Portal Objects link.

  3. Click the Pagelets link.

  4. Navigate to the Content Ref Administration page for the pagelet.

    You define the pagelet help in the Content Reference Attributes region of the page.

  5. Enter the number of seconds for automatic refresh in the Refresh Time (sec) field.

  6. (Optional) Select the Hide refresh image check box to prevent manual pagelet refresh by the user.

  7. Save the content reference.

Note:

Pagelets with document.write or document.writeln must not have the refresh timer set (to automatically refresh every n seconds) because the whole homepage will also be refreshed every n seconds.
