Target Portals

WARNING:

Selecting a target portal in which the selected pagelet already exists overwrites the pagelet content reference in the target portal.

Field or Control	Description
Select	Select to publish the selected pagelet to the selected target portal. Use the Portal Name and Title fields to identify the available target portals.
Pagelet Exists As	If the pagelet that you selected to copy and publish to a target portal already exists in the target portal, this field is populated with the pagelet title as it exists in the portal registry. For instance, in the example shown here the Technology News pagelet is selected for copying from the EMPLOYEE source portal to the CUSTOMER target portal. The Pagelet Exists As field shows that this pagelet also already exists in the CUSTOMER target portal. If you copy the pagelet to the CUSTOMER portal, the pagelet definition in the CUSTOMER portal is overwritten by the pagelet definition in the EMPLOYEE source portal.
Go to Tab Content/Layout	Click to display the Tab Content and Tab Layout pages where you can specify display settings for the pagelet.
Publish Pagelet	Select to copy the pagelet definition from the source portal and publish it in the selected target portals. Content reference are created in the registries of all selected target portals by means of the same values that exist in the original pagelet registration in the source portal. If the folder in which the original pagelet is registered does not exist for a selected target portal registry, it is generated dynamically.
