Each portlet provides access to standard features and functions. Because each portlet is smaller than the standard Workplace XT page, there is less space for displaying items, actions, and commands. You can access the additional features by clicking links in the appropriate portlet.
For example, the Browse portlet displays items from a specific object store and folder, while the standard Browse page displays navigation for selecting an object store or folder, displays a list of Browse views, displays a list of actions, and displays a list of items. The topics in the section Work with portlet views explain how to work with each type of portlet. The topics in Edit portlet views explain how to change what is displayed for each type of portlet. For example, you can learn how to select the object store and folder for the Browse portlet.
The portlets in personal My Workplace pages provide an Edit view for selecting additional configuration information. For example, the Browse portlet must be customized to select a specific object store and folder to view. If a portlet has not been configured yet, a message is displayed. For more information, see Edit portlet views.
