Header color – set the color of the portlet header (fig. 3). To pick a color, click . A pallet of available colors will open.

Forbid to collapse:
Name URL – you can insert a page URL in this field. In this case, clicking the portlet name will open the selected page.
The URL can lead to an external resource or to an ELMA page.
For example, if you use http://www.in.west.com, then when you click the portlet name, the browser will load this URL.
To add an ELMA system page, open it in a new tab (or a new window) and copy its URL.
Image URL – you can insert a URL of an image to this field. If you fill in this field, the portlet will display the selected image.
Enable asynchronous loading:
|
Yes – first the main page will be loaded, then the portlet.
|
|
No – the main page and the portlet will be loaded simultaneously.
|
To increase the page loading speed, we recommend using asynchronous loading.
When a new portlet is added, this setting will be enabled by default.
Show the manual refresh button:
|
Yes – the portlet header will display the button for refreshing the portlet content.
|
|
No – the portlet header will not display the button for refreshing the portlet content.
|
After you have completed configuration, click:
Save - settings will be saved and the window will be closed.
Save and continue - settings will be saved, but the window will not be closed and you will be able to continue configuring.

This setting allows you to select one of the portlet design options.
Full – the portlet will have a header and a border (fig. 1).
