Standard portlets

Once in portlet edit mode, a settings page is displayed for the user. This page allows the user to override connection parameter and global variable settings. These functions are equivalent to the HATS functions for Web applications that allow a user to override settings using the URL when the application is first accessed.

On the settings page, in the connection parameter section, the connection parameter drop-down lists the Host On-Demand session parameters that you allow to be overridden in the project settings. The user sets an override by selecting a parameter from the drop-down list, entering a value in the Value field, and clicking Add. By default, the override setting is enabled when first added. It can be disabled by selecting false from the Enabled drop-down. An override can be deleted by selecting the check box next to the parameter name and clicking Delete.

In the global variable section, the user sets an override by entering a global variable name and value, and clicking Add. After adding an override, the global variable can be identified as a shared global variable by selecting true from the Shared drop-down. By default, the override setting is enabled when first added. It can be disabled by selecting false from the Enabled drop-down. An override can be deleted by selecting the check box next to the global variable name and clicking Delete.
