Your developers can create custom portlets, logos, and
content items that best suit your organization.
Here are
the main tasks that developers perform:
-
Develop the content that your organization
needs. Developers can share this task with others in the organization.
For example, developers might create stored processes and publication
channels, whereas business analysts might create SAS Information Maps
and reports.
-
Use the Portlet application programming
interface (API) that is provided with the portal in order to create
custom portlets. These portlets might display data, text, and graphics
that are suitable for the types of information that you want to deliver.
Developers can create interactive portlets that accept input from
the user. After the user provides input, the portlet might perform
some action in response to the input. Portlets that are created with
the API have a standard appearance, including a title bar that contains
icons.
-
Create the resources, such as logos, that your organization
can use for custom themes. Themes control the appearance of the portal
and of SAS solutions that run in the portal. A theme consists of cascading
style sheets (CSS) and graphical elements, including the portal banner,
background image, and logo.
-
Develop Web applications that are integrated with the
portal. These applications can be invoked from the portal without
an additional logon.
