# Enabling/Disabling a Portlet for Remote Consumption

A Producer can have any number of portlets built on it, sometimes into the thousands. By default, all of these portlets are available to consumers as remote portlets. You can, however, specify which portlets are actually available to consumers by using the foollowing procedure:

1. Before you begin, ensure that WebLogic Workshop is running and that you have a portlet open in the display mode.
2. In the Properties Editor, locate and hightlight Offer as Remote. By default, this value will be set to true.

3. Click the drop-down arrow to display the selection menu and do one of the following:
   - To prevent the portlet from being offered as a remote portlet, select false.
   - To leave the portlet enabled, do nothing (assuming the default is still in place) or, if the porperty is already set to false, select true.

   When you save the portlet, the select value will apply.
