Create a portal in 6 easy steps!

1. Plan for the objects you need to see on the portal page. The objects could be Cognos Navigator, Cognos viewer, Cognos Search or HTML objects and add third party objects with RSS feeds.


2.Once this is done, create a Page. Click the new page button
3. Name the Page and save it to My Folders( You are just saving this Page/portal so you can edit it later, if required)

4. Now you have to plan the layout of the Portal. You have three options, you can layout your objects in 1/2/3 columns. Basically you can size your columns in percentage widths. See image below



5. Add the Objects to your Columns.

6. Name your page again and Select the Add this page to the portal tabs check box.


Go on and customize your portal...
