Modify a TM1 Viewer Portlet

You can define the default content and appearance of TM1® Viewer portlets. The settings become the default for all users who use the portlet. You can lock the portlet for editing if you want to prevent other users from changing the settings.

If the portlet is not locked for editing, users can change their instance of the portlet. They retain their custom settings even if you reset the portlet. Users inherit the settings you configure when they use the portlet instance you configured, or when they reset their portlet instance using the reset button reset button icon in the portlet edit mode.
