Portlet Builder:

Instead of displaying in one window when you save a portlet in Portlet Builder these options are now organized on tabs:
- Content
- Roles
- Presentation
- Administration
There is a new Statistics tab when you click the Properties button, which displays the user who created the portlet, creation and modification dates, and other reference information.
Custom portlet height – you can enter the portlet height as a numeric value, in pixels.
Portlet content display direction – you can select either left-to-right or right-to-left display options for the portlet content.

New file element – allows you to create portlet elements that are based on files.

Database element JNDI connection cache option – when you define a database element, you now have the option to enter a JNDI Resource name.

Continuous capture – allows you to capture a set of related Web pages and define how to extract and display the content from those pages within Enterprise Portal.

Server-side click-across portlets – allows you to create events that start when you click the content in a portlet table. This functionality now includes server-side click-across, which lets you replace a portlet’s content that is the source of an event with the content of another portlet.

Flash grids – allow you to create an interactive portlet so users can view tabular data as a sortable grid. You can also use the Flash grid to chart data using a bar chart, line chart, or pie chart.

Portlet charting enhancements – allows you to create drill-down charts using the charting post-processing wizard.

Portlet importing and exporting – allows you to export and import individual portlets without having to export or import the pages, page groups, or catalogs that contain the portlets.

XML validation must be turned off for the import, export, and deploy functionality to work. See “XML validation must be turned off for the import and export functionality to work”.

Grid rule enhancements – allows you to create user-defined rules that alter the appearance and content of the grid for portlet elements that generate table-based content. Additional rules allow you to add new records or fields and alter record and field content.
