Creating a New Application

Overview of Creating a New Application

If a Web application is accessible to the portal, you can create your own link to the application by using either of the following methods:

create a new application and add it to a collection portlet
create a new application without adding it to a collection portlet

Note: Before you can access an application from the portal, the portal administrator must deploy the application and implement authorization. For details, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Web Application Administration Guide, which is available at http://support.sas.com/92administration.
