About Portal Page Click Actions

The Portal Page click action opens another page in the portal, either by going to the page or displaying it in a pop-up window. The target page opens with the current QuickView values, parent windows, and row dimensions. Therefore, the target page displays data specific to the originating portlet instance. If the target page has printing enabled, printer icon printer appears on the header. Click the icon to open a context menu with available print options.

If a Measure Factory page has a Current Date QuickView, a Portal Page click action can pass the _current_date and _filter_string parameters to a cPlan used in a Marker portlet. The cPlan must declare the parameters to use them. The cPlan can be applied to non-factory content. Note that _current_date is populated with a date string in the format YYYY/MM/DD. If the QuickView is rolled up to month, _current_date is the first date in that month.

You can use this click action to display a hidden page.

NOTE: If you make changes to the target page and then close it, the originating portlet instance does not reflect the change until you manually refresh the browser. Consider letting your users know this.

Portal page click actions can be added to the following types of portlets:

  • Background
