Chapter 4: Creating and Using Portlets

Changing the way the portlet displays on the page

If you put many portlets, or large portlets, on your page, you may not see the entire page on one window, or your page may load slowly. You can selectively minimize or maximize the portlets on a page by clicking the minimize or maximize icon on the right of the portlet title bar.

NoteAvailable display options vary, depending on the browser you are using.

StepsSetting the default height

You can force your window height to be a specific size, or you can show the entire window. The default value is to “show all,” which means the entire portlet displays on the page.

  1. Click the Edit link located at the top right of the portlet whose height you want to change.

  2. From Set Default Height drop-down list, select the height at whichyou want the portlet to display. The available heights change according to whether or not you are using the iFrame option.

    With the iFrame option selected, you can choose from these portlet heights:
