Tabs and portlets

Last modified: 2026-08-18

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.

What are tabs?

Tabs group portlets into separate folders. For example, you might want to group all of the portlets relating to monitoring, alarms, or power control into one tab.

At portfolio level and system level , you can modify and manage tabs by yourself.

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.

What types of portlets are there?

For more information on specific portlet types and their general functionalities, see Portlets.

Do all portlets behave the same?

You can add some portlets only at portfolio level (= Portfolio portlets), some only at system level (= System portlets), and some on both levels. To learn more about the different operating levels, see Portal structure.

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.
