Portal Browser

Use the portal browser to create a new portal, access administration settings, and work with the portals that are available to you. Your role and permissions determine the actions you can perform.

To create a new portal, click Create Portal. More

To navigate to WebCenter Portal Administration for all portals, click the Administration tile. More

To navigate to the Home portal, click the Home Portal tile. More

To work with the portals available to you:

1. Optionally, select from the Show list at the top of the portal browser:

   • All Portals to show all portals available to you, both public and private. Portals defined as hidden when created are not shown.

   • Joined to display portals of which you are a member.

   • Managed to display portals for which you have portal manager privileges.

   • Closed to display portals available to you that have been closed by the portal manager. When Closed is selected, the Home Portal and Administration tiles do not display in the portal browser. The content of a closed portal remains accessible and searchable to those who still want to reference it and portal members can continue working in the portal either by selecting Closed as described here, or by direct URL (http://host:port/webcenter/portal/portalName).

2. To find one or more specific portals, enter a full or partial search term in the keyword search, then press Enter (or click ) to show all portals for which a match is found in the Title, Acronym, Description, or Keywords (specified when the portal was created or on the General page in the administration settings for the portal).

   To display all portals, delete the search string, then press Enter (or click ) to refresh the portal browser with all portals.

   Note:

   The Home portal and Administration pages are not included in search results.

3. To go to the Home page of a portal, click the portal tile.

   By default, a portal is shown in the portal browser as a color tile, overlaid with an acronym and portal name. In the portal administration settings, you can change the display of a portal in the portal browser to its logo.

   See Changing the Portal Logo

   The Security icon () indicates that the portal is secured and some action, like edit or change membership, and may not be available to you.

4. To display a menu of actions available on the portal, click to explore the actions available to you, depending on your permissions in the portal.

   For example, to view a portal and its pages, you must be a portal manager or a portal member with the portal-level permission Basic Services: View Pages and Content (standard permissions) or Pages: View Pages (advanced permissions).
