Last modified:
VCOM allows you to customize the view of your portfolio and system level content with the information that is most relevant to you. Therefore you can modify VCOM’s pre-configured portlets and tabs to suit your needs.
Portlets
What are portlets?
Portlets are small, re-sizable windows that give you a quick overview of the status of specific data, such as alarms, tickets, analysis graphics, battery charge, webcam, or upcoming events.
Add portlets at one or both levels:
PORTFOLIO LEVEL
SYSTEM LEVEL
Example of a portlet
Depending on the portlet, it can have the following properties:
Dynamic portlet: The portlet is updated when you select a different system name from the systems list.
Static portlet: The portlet displays the same information regardless of the selected system.
Note
For more information on specific portlet types, see Portlets.
