My Pages

My Pages are your personalized view of the portal. Each My Page displays portlets that you choose. Portlets, which are tools embedded in your portal, increase the flexibility of your portal by allowing you to integrate applications, tools, and services into your portal. For example, you could have a portlet that provides a search tool for all the employees in a company or a portlet that allows you to order lunch online.
