Adding Custom Portlets for SuiteSignOn
After you have installed a SuiteSignOn bundle, any subtab, Suitelet, and user event connection points are immediately available to users in your account. However, a portlet connection point is not available to users until they have added a custom portlet to the dashboard and configured that portlet to use the script defined for that connection point.
You can do either of the following to expose a portlet connection point:
-
Add a custom portlet to your own dashboard and publish it to users. This option provides you with greater control.
See Publishing Dashboards. Be aware that you can only publish a dashboard to users with the same center as you, so you may need to log in with multiple roles and repeatedly add the custom portlet to multiple dashboards to make the portlet available to users with various centers.
-
Provide users with instructions for adding a custom portlet to their dashboards.
To expose a portlet connection point on your dashboard:
-
On the page where you want to add the connection point, click Customize this Page.
-
In the Add Content panel, drag a Custom Portlet object to the required location on the page.
-
In the Custom Content portlet, click Set Up.
-
In the Set Up Scripted Content dialog, select the name of the script that is listed as the portlet connection point, and click Save.
