To define the contents and appearance of the Detail portlet, you set preferences. The way you use the Detail portlet determines where you set its preferences:
To learn about accessing portlet preferences from a shared or container page, see Section 6.0, Page Administration.
To learn about accessing portlet preferences for a portlet registration, see Section 7.0, Portlet Administration.
The Detail portlet has two preference pages: one for general preferences (shown in Figure 11-10) and one for complex preferences.
