What is a Portlet?
Portlets are mini websites within a website that allow content to be brought in from a variety of sources like other websites or from databases.
There are many uses for portlets on a robust website.For example, a district may keep a staff directory on-line locally with a copy on the website and want to only update the directory at one location.A portlet facilitates this dynamic change ofcontent originating at an off-site location. In addition, content can be controlled by role.
