Placing Portlets in My Portal

What Is a Portlet?

The portlet allows you to place Garoon applications as small content in the top page (portal).
Different kinds of portlets for Garoon applications (for Scheduler, Bulletin Board, and more) are provided. System administrators may also have created their own portlets.
