Administering the Portlet

You can configure the text that displays at the top of the Request a Contact and Schedule a Visit pages. This text can contain any instructions and information useful in submitting this request.

These settings apply only to the current instance of the portlet.

2.        From the Initiate Contact portlet, click the Setup option.

The Configure Initiate Contact Text page appears.

The first time you enter the Setup for the Initiate Contact portlet after it has been placed on a JICS page, the following note (in red text) is displayed: “Currently there is no text for Request a Contact/Schedule a Visit. Please update the current default text and save.”

This message indicates that the text that is shown in the Request a Contact Text and Schedule a Visit text boxes is only being displayed by default since no text currently exists for this portlet instance. Therefore, any text you wish to be displayed to the user must be saved for this particular portlet instance before it will be visible to users.

3.        In the Request a Contact Text and Schedule a Visit text boxes, choose one of the following options:

o      Retain the default text.

o      Edit the default text.

o      Enter customized text for your institution.

You may enter a maximum of 3000 characters for each message.

4.        Click Save.
