All portal object managers (Portlet Manager, Template Manager, and so on) display similar object-specific user interface components:
Manager menus – display View By options in the Portlet and Page Managers to change the grouping of portlets or pages. For portlets, the menu changes the grouping from Status to Category. For pages, the menu changes the grouping from Status to Type. The menus do not appear in the Template or Catalog Manager.
Detail window – displays the type of items you selected from the Manager menu; for example, only new or approved portlets.
Toolbar – lets you perform object-specific activities; for example, create a new object, edit, preview, and so on.
Pop-up menus – let you perform object-specific activities on the selected item in the list.
Object managers allow you to display items based on your menu selection. You can display portlets and pages by Status or Category. Templates and catalogs can be displayed only by Status. Additional options on the toolbar allow you to filter the selected lists by additional criteria.
The detail window displays items for the selected object based on your selections from:
View By – view items by Status or Category. Templates and catalogs display only by Status.
Menu – view items of a specific status or category. Templates and catalogs display items only by Status.
Filter By – choose to see all items or only the items created by you.
Show Active Only – choose to see only the selected items (portlets, templates, and pages) that are marked as active (available to be used).
If a list contains more items than can display in one window,numbers display directly below the detail window that allow you to navigate to the next group of items in the list.
Above the detail window are icons that allow you to perform a variety of activities on an item in the detail view. The icons that appear vary depending on the object manager with which you are working.
Once a list displays in the detail window, right-click a list item to display an object-specific pop-up menu showing activities you can perform on the selected item.
