An aggregated portlet contains one or several elements or portlets that display in one window. Regardless of the type of portlet you create, the steps to begin the procedure and the steps to save the element or portlet at the end of the procedure are the same. These common steps are provided in this section, followed by instructions on how to create each portlet type.
Creating multi-element portlets
Open the Portlet Builder:
Click New on the Portlet Manager toolbar to display the Portlet Builder; or click the New icon down arrow on the toolbar and select Aggregated Portlet or Secure Portlet, or
Right-click in the Portlet Manager detail view and select New Aggregated Portlet from the pop-up.
A default template appears in the right frame. To choose a different template, click Template. The Find Template window displays.
Enter a template’s name or partial name using an asterisk (*) as a wildcard if you are searching for a specific template. Leave the Name field blank to see all available templates. Click Search.
A list of Approved templates displays in the Results pane, click:
