How the Portal Is Organized
The Information
Delivery Portal uses pages and portlets to organize information. Here
is an example of a page called Home:
The name
of the currently displayed page appears in the highlighted tab. The
names of the other pages in your personal portal are shown in the
other tabs. In the above example, the portal contains pages that are
titled Home, Sales, Outlook, and Utilities.
Each page
in the SAS Information Delivery Portal contains rectangular portlets.
Portlets are the display components of a portal and are used to organize
content on a page. A page can contain any number of portlets. The
Home page shown in this example contains three portlets.
You can
use the portal's personalization features to arrange the portlets
in one, two, or three columns on a page. The two-column format is
shown in the example above. If you specify a grid layout, then the
portlets are lined up both vertically (in columns) and horizontally
(in rows).
Note: Because the
SAS Information Delivery Portal can be customized easily, its appearance
might differ from the examples shown in this and other Help topics.
The portal that is installed in your organization might have different
colors or type styles, a different logo, or different types of information
in the portlets.
