The Main View tab provides a more complete and sophisticated way to determine how a given portlet behaves on the NOP Main view (Homepage) than what is provided in the Common tab, and extends the possibility to specify parameters individually targeted to given scope(s).
Name and Title
The first panel is dedicated to the title of a Porlet, as it appears in the Title Bar. In the example below, see how a separate entry has been created for each of the NOP phases:
Not authorized text
The second panel is where you enter the text to be displayed in the Portlet when a user is not authorized to view some content. The picture below illustrates how you can have a single entry covering multiple scopes.
Service unavailable text
The third panel is where you enter, in cases where it is relevant, the text to be displayed in the Portlet when the associated service is not available. Here again, the picture below illustrates how you can have a single entry covering multiple scopes.
Hidden when not ...
This set of buttons lets you determine in which phase a given Portlet will be visible or hidden.
In this example, the Portlet will be hidden in the TAC, PRE and R scopes and visible in the POS and STR scope:
Scopes
This set of buttons lets you determine the scope of a given Portlet, that is, where it should typically appear in the Portal. It is however not the opposite parameter of the previous Hidden when not ... setting, as both can be combined.
As a result, a Porlet made visibe on the Portal but outside of its declared scope will display the Not in scope text defined below.
Not in scope
Adding entries
Follow these steps to create an entry in one of the the text areas and assign it to one or more NOP Phase:
- Click on the Add button
- Click on any combination of the NOP phases buttons (POS, TAC, PRE, STR, R) to indicate in which scope this specific footer will be visible (dimmed buttons mean 'off' and vivid ones mean 'on') allowing you a different content or wording according to the selected scope(s)
- Enter the desired values for the Copyright, Webmaster address (email) and Disclaimer label fields
- Enter in the Disclaimer text area the text to be displayed when a user clicks on the Disclaimer label link defined above
- When relevant, enter some keywords to be picked by the NOP search engine
- ... and do not forget to clik on the Apply button.
You can repeat these steps to add more footers, and then click on the OK button when done.
