Placing Portlets on Pages

The administrator can add, remove, rename, and reorder features, on pages. Features include portlets, other pages, and additional options.

Existing pages and portlets appear.

This option allows you to manage that feature on the page, but reuse the content in as many locations as you need to.

The Options page reappears.

5.        To add a new portlet or page,

Remove a Feature from a Page
