How Do I Create (Duplicate) a New Portlet?

Administrators can create new portlets by duplicating and modifying properties and preferences portlets already available in the Portal Library. You can then add these portlets to pages in your portal as you would any other portlet.

Follow this example to create (duplicate) a portlet:

1. Select Portals under Portal Management in the top Menu in the Editor pane.
2. Select sampleportal as the Web application in the Portal Web Application drop-down menu, if it is not already selected.
3. In the Portal Resource tree, select Library -> All Portlets.
4. In the Editor pane, click the Duplicate button next to the RSS News Feed portlet. The duplicate of the portlet appears at the bottom of the list.
5. Click on the new portlet.
6. Rename the portlet by modifying the portlet properties.
7. Edit the portlet preferences or create new ones for your new portlet.
8. You can also add your new portlet to a portlet category.
