Why don't I see an object on Add Portlets?

If you don't see the object you want to add to a region on Add Portlets, such as an Oracle Portal folder, navigation bar, application, or page, the object creator has probably forgotten to publish the object as a portlet. If you have the proper authority, you can check yourself to see if the appropriate check box has been selected. If you don't, see the object creator.

Here are the locations and names of the check boxes that must be selected before you can see an object on Add Portlets:

The Publish As Portlet check box, located on the Required tab in the Folder Manager.

Page
