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:
Home page in the portal
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.
