Add portal components to custom pages templates (and pages, if desired).

Topics:

• About Portal Components

• Accessing Portal Component Properties

See Table B-1 for a listing of all portal components.

About Portal Components

Portal components are prepackaged, fully functional WebCenter Portal objects, such as the menus and links in the WebCenter Portal user interface, that are available to add to your own pages templates (and pages, if desired). Out-of-the-box, they are available in the Default Page Template Catalog (see About the Built-In Resource Catalogs). To add portal components to a page template, see Editing a Page Template.

Portal components have associated properties that you can use to refine the appearance and behavior of a component instance. See Accessing Portal Component Properties.

Table B-1 lists all available portal components and links to more information about each one.
