Default Categories
The uPortal 3.2 release included a reorganization of the default uPortal categories. New categories may need to be added to an existing installation to ensure all new content is properly imported. Several previously-existing categories were removed, so upgraders may also need to choose betweeen restoring those categories or assigning existing content to new categories.
The list of categories as of uPortal 3.2 is a flat (un-nested) list as follows:
- Academics
- Administration
- Demonstration
- Development
- Entertainment
- Information
- Instructors
- News
- Testing
- uPortal
Publishing Workflow Permissions
uPortal 3.2 introduced new portlet publishing workflow features that allow a portlet to be moved through the following lifecycle stages:
- Created
- Approved
- Published
- Expired
Portlet management permissions for each lifecycle step may be delegated to a particular user or group upon any given portlet category. Upgrading institutions may wish to assign these permissions to administrative groups or users.
