General

• Name: the name of the portlet

Dynamic Titles: Dynamic titles can be used in portlet names to provide more details about the content being presented. For this functionality to work, the portlet must have access to data from other portlets as a parameter. To achieve this, the portlet should listen to the data provided by other portlets.

To add a dynamic value to the title, include the parameter in the portlet's name using curly brackets {}. For example, the title "Product Info: {ProductId}" would display the selected product ID in the title, assuming the parameter name is ProductId.

• Header Visibility: Determines the behavior of the portlet and container headers.

  • Visible: The header will always be shown.

  • Visible on Hover: The header will be visible when the user hovers over the header area. The header can be accessed by hovering over the small handle located in the upper right corner for portlets and the upper left corner for containers.

  • Hidden: The header is always hidden. If the header is hidden, users cannot access the action buttons (e.g., Clear User Settings, Refresh, Expand, etc.). When in edit mode, the "Hidden" setting behaves the same as "Visible on Hover," meaning the header will become visible when the user hovers over the header area.

• Header style: Expand Header style to customize the appearance of a portlet or container header.

  • Size: Select Small, Medium, Large, or Extra large. The size determines the title’s font size and the spacing above and below it.

  • Bold: Enable this option to display the title in bold.

  • Background: Set the header’s background colour. Clear the colour to use the theme default.

  • Title text: Set the title’s text colour. Clear the colour to use the theme default.

• Stacked container tabs: For stacked containers, the header and tabs are configured separately. Tab styling supports Size and Bold, with the same settings applied to all tabs.

• Auto-Refresh: Enables the portlet to refresh its data every SS seconds. If there are unsaved changes in the columns, the table will not refresh until those changes have been saved or canceled.

Auto-Refresh should be used with caution: Portlets that rely on heavy queries in the data source and are set to refresh too frequently can cause performance issues. Designers should carefully consider the intended usage before configuring the refresh interval.
