Create a new portal The Portal Administrator makes new Portals available by performing the following steps:

  • Creating a new portal.
  • Creating the group of Portal Participants for that portal.
  • Creating portal tabs, if desired, for the portal.
  • Adding the appropriate portlets to the portal and portal tabs.
  • Configuring layout and look & feel for the portal.

The Portal Administrator has two possible procedures for creating portals:

  • Creating a new portal from scratch.
  • Creating a new portal by using a portal template. (See Alternate Paths)

While creating a portal, the Portal Administrator assigns the following properties:

  • Portal Name - the name by which the portal is identified in the Web site.
  • Portal Mission - a brief description of the purpose that the portal is intended to fulfill.
  • Portal URL Label - the label of the Web site stub at which the portal appears.
