You can add predefined
links to a collection portlet. A predefined link is a link that was
previously created and that already exists in the portal repository.
To add
a predefined link to a collection portlet, follow these
steps:
-
Navigate
to the page where the collection portlet is displayed.
-
In the
portlet's title bar, click the Edit Contents icon
.
-
Click
Add Items on the Edit Portlet Content page.
-
On the
Add Items to Portlet page, click the
Search tab.
-
On the
Search page, select the
Link check box and
enter search criteria for the link(s) that you want to add. To find
all available links, enter an asterisk (*) in the search field.
For more information
about searching, see Search for Content.
-
The list
of search results appears on the right side of the page. The search
tool returns all of the links whose metadata (name, description, or
key words) contains one or more of the words that you entered. The
list includes only content items that you are authorized to access.
-
If you
want to preview a content item before adding it to the portlet, click
the item name.
The item
appears in the browser window. After previewing the item, you can
do either of the following:
-
Click
Add this item to add the content item to the portlet.
The Add Items to Portlet
page appears, and a checkmark appears in the item's check box in the
search results.
-
Click
Search in the banner to return to the Add Items to Portlet page without
adding the content item.
-
In the
search results list, select the check box for each item that you want
to add to the portlet. Then click
Add.
A message
appears, indicating how many items were added.
-
When you
are finished identifying items to add, click
Done on the search results page.
-
On the
Edit Portlet Content page, you can change the placement of the link
in the portlet as follows:
-
In the Items box, click the link's name.
-
Click the up arrow or down arrow to move the link
up or down in the list.
You must
have more than one item listed in the Items box in order to move the
link.
