This section discusses how to:

  • Delete pagelets.

  • Copy pagelets.

Deleting Pagelets

Access the Delete Pagelets page. (Select PeopleTools, and then Portal, and then Pagelet Wizard, and then Delete Pagelets.)

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Delete Pagelets page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Delete Pagelets page

Deleting a pagelet removes the pagelet definition from Pagelet Wizard. In addition, associated metadata and registry entries are deleted from the database and portal registry.

Field or Control Description

Select

Select the pagelets to delete.

Delete Selected Pagelets

Click to delete selected pagelets. The system prompts you to confirm the deletion.

The Published tab shows information about how the pagelet has been published.

Field or Control Description

Homepage

If selected, indicates that the pagelet has been published as a homepage page.

Template

If selected, indicates that the pagelet has been published as a template pagelet.

WSRP

If selected, indicates that the pagelet has been published as a WSRP portlet.

Embeddable

If selected, indicates that the pagelet has been published as an embeddable pagelet.

Copying Pagelets

Access the Copy Pagelets page. (Select PeopleTools, and then Portal, and then Pagelet Wizard, and then Copy Pagelets.)

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Copy Pagelets page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Copy Pagelets page

The pagelet copy inherits all aspects of the original pagelet, with the exception of registration information.

Field or Control Description

Select

Select the pagelet to copy.

New Pagelet ID

Enter a unique pagelet ID for the new pagelet that will be copied from the selected existing pagelet.

Note: Pagelet IDs can contain only the characters A–Z, a–z, and _. All other characters put into a pagelet ID will be removed by the system. If all characters are removed from the user-entered pagelet ID, then the Registry Object Prefix will be used instead. If, after removing illegal characters from the pagelet ID, the name is found to match an existing pagelet ID, then Pagelet Wizard will append numbers to the end of the pagelet ID to make the new pagelet ID unique.

Include Personalization Data

Select to copy any end-user personalizations defined for the existing pagelet along with the new pagelet.

Save New Pagelet

Click to create the cloned pagelet with the new pagelet ID. Once you create the copied pagelet, you must publish it before it can be used as a homepage pagelet or a template pagelet. You can access the new pagelet in Pagelet Wizard and publish the pagelet during Step 6 on the Specify Publishing Options page.
