Preferences (Remote Portlet Web Service)

To specify the location of any preference pages associated with this Web service, type the path to the page (including the page name):

Note:  If you associated a remote server on the Main Settings page, you can type a relative path (/myPortlet/) or an absolute path (http://myServer/myPortlet/). If you enter an absolute path, ignore the base URL.

• Administrative Preferences URL: These preferences are set by the portlet creator on the Main Settings page of the Portlet Editor. They affect everyone's view of the portlet.

• Portlet Template Preferences URL: These preferences are set by the portlet template creator on the Main Settings page of the Portlet Template Editor. They affect the portlet template itself and all portlets created from that template.
  
  Note: If you change these preferences after portlets have been created from this template, the change will affect only new portlets. Portlets created from this template before the change was made will not be affected.

• Portlet Preferences URL: These preferences are set by the user through the icon on the portlet title bar. They affect that user's view of the portlet.
  
  Note: The Portlet Preferences URL differs from the User Configuration URL (specified on the Advanced URL Settings page) in the following ways:

• The Portlet Preferences URL displays a link on the Edit Portlet Preferences page, but the link displays only when the associated portlet is on the selected My Page or community page. However, the User Configuration URL displays a link on the My Account page to any user with at least Read access to the Web service.

• A user configuration page can include only user preferences. A portlet preferences page can include user preferences or portlet-specific preferences.

If you want to send user preferences (from either the User Configuration URL or the Portlet Preferences URL) to this Web service, you must specify them by name:

• To send a user preference to the portlets associated with this Web service, type the name of the preference in the box below User Preferences.

• To include more user preferences, click Add User Preference.

• To delete a user preference, select the preference and click .

• Community Preferences URL: These preferences are set by the community manager on the Portlet Preferences page of the Community Editor. This page can include community preferences (which affect everyone's view of one or more portlets in that community) or community-portlet-specific preferences (which affect everyone's view of a specific portlet in that community).

If you want to send community preferences to the portlets associated with this Web service, specify the preferences by name:

• To send a user preference to the portlets associated with this Web service, type the name of the preference in the box below Community Preferences.

• To include more user preferences, click Add Community Preference.

• To delete a community preference, select the preference and click .

• Session Preferences: If you want to send session preferences to this Web service, you must specify them by name:

• To send a session preference to the portlets associated with this Web service, type the name of the preference in the box below Session Preferences.

• To include more session preferences, click Add Session Preference.

• To delete a session preference, select the preference and click .
