Publishing a page as a portlet

Before users can add a page to a region on another page, the page must first be published as a portlet.

To publish a page as a portlet, you must have at least one of the following privileges and be a member of the Portlet Publishers group:

Note: You can only publish Standard pages, pages of a custom type based on the Standard page type, and navigation pages as portlets.

To publish a page as a portlet:

Go to the page on which you want to work.
Switch to Edit mode.
In the toolbar at the top of the page, click Properties.

Note: Make sure you click the link for the page, not the page group.

Tip: You can also click Properties next to the page in the Navigator.
Click the Optional tab.
Select Publish As Portlet.
Select Use Style Of Page On Which Portlet Is Placed, if you want to use the style of the page on which the page is placed when it is added as a portlet. If you do not select this check box, when the page is added as a portlet, it uses its own style instead.
By default the page display name is displayed in the portlet header. If you want to use a different heading for the portlet, enter the heading in the Portlet Display Name field.

Note: If the page designer has hidden portlet headers in the region where the portlet is added, the heading you specify here will not be displayed.
Click OK to return to the page.

The portlet appears in the Portlet Repository, with the page group to which it belongs as the provider. If this is the first object published for this page group, the page group is added as a provider in the New page of the Portlet Repository. If you have the appropriate privileges, you can move the page group provider to a more appropriate location within the Portlet Repository.
