About Actuate Information Console portlets
Actuate Information Console portlets conform to the JSR 168 standard. As such, they integrate seamlessly with any portal server that supports this standard. This approach provides portal end users with access to Actuate Information Console methodology.
Portals are web applications that serve as gateways to information and applications on the internet or an intranet. The basic method of a portal is to aggregate information from different sources. A portlet provides a view of specific information available from a portal.
Actuate Information Console portlets offer many benefits to portal integration, such as personalization. After the portal administrator makes the portlets available to end users, users can add portlets to or remove portlets from their own pages. This functionality provides greater flexibility for customization by end users. After the user’s initial login to the reporting application server, the user is authenticated in the portal security domain. From that point forward, logging in to the portal logs the user in to the reporting application server. Table 3-1 lists the Actuate Information Console portlets and their methods.
Portlets have two modes, edit and view. The edit mode sets the portlet’s parameters. The view mode displays the information the portlet accesses.
