Changing the personal portal

You can change your personal portal by

o  rearranging the positions of the widgets,

o  adding new widgets, deleting existing widgets and

o  changing the specifications of individual widgets.

The position of a widget is changed via drag and drop.

•      Click on the title bar of the widget and move the widget to a new position with the mouse key pressed. This way you can arrange the widgets of your personal portal ac­cord­ing to your preferences.

You can delete widgets of your personal portal by

•      clicking on  in the title bar of the widget.

You may change a widget as follows.

•      Click on  in the title bar of the widget.

•      In the section ‘General’ of the action form ‘Change Widget’ you may change name tags and description of the widget. The title of a BSCW widget as shown in the title bar of the widget consists of the name followed by the context in parentheses; the title of other widgets consists of the name. An optional description of a widget is only shown in the details view of the personal portal.

•      Most widgets have a section ‘Preferences’ where you can change the default speci­fi­ca­tions made when the widget was created.

With BSCW widgets you may determine the context of the widget under Data. The context of a BSCW widget is the object on which the widget is focused, e.g. the folder whose content is shown in a folder widget. Use the  button to select the context object. Under View you can change widget display parameters which depend on the wid­get type: enter the number of entries shown or select a filter or sorting criterion.

The Data section of other widgets allows you to change, e.g., the URL of the feed of an RSS news widget.
