Delete

A screen is displayed in which you can select the region where you want to move the portlet or item. You can select multiple portlets or items for moving, but not a combination of portlets and items. You can move portlets only to portlet regions, and items only to item regions.

  • You cannot move tabs.
  • To move an item to a different page, use the List view.
