Overview of Configuring Infolets

You can configure infolets that aggregate key information for a specific area, for example, personal profile.

Your users use infolets arranged in tabs in the Analytics section of the home page. Or, if it's a home page with a panel or banner layout, they use the page control icons.

If your users don't find infolet pages on the home page, you can enable them by using the Home Configuration tab in the Structure work area. Let's look at some tasks you can do to configure infolets.

• Create infolets.

• Add content to infolets. For example, you can add a task flow or a performance tile report, and if an infolet contains a performance tile report, then you can add a link to a detailed report in the same infolet.

  Note: In the context of infolets, a report is an analysis, not an Analytics Publisher report.

• Edit infolets. For example, edit infolet content and add, change, or remove link to detailed report.

• Delete infolets.

But before you start creating and editing infolets, here are a few things to keep in mind:

• You can add analyses from the catalog to an infolet, but not Analytics Publisher reports, or other objects like filters or prompts.

• To create or edit infolets, you must first either create and activate a sandbox, or activate an existing one. But make sure the sandbox has the Page Composer tool selected. If you want to make changes in a context layer that isn't the default layer, Site, you must create a separate sandbox just to use Page Composer in it. You can then change the context layer from Site to the other layer. For example, to create or edit infolets for a user with a specific job role, you must select the Job Role context layer.

• You can validate your changes in the sandbox in preview mode before you publish it.
