The element displayed on the Starter portlet is the starting element for all the portlets on the page. The Starter portlet initially shows the home element for the user.
Additional elements can be added to the Starter portlet to create a flat list of elements and their statuses. Clicking any of the elements, drives other portlets on the page.
You can select an icon to display as a status indicator for the element. The color of the icon identifies its current condition. The color is based on the colors set for condition in the Operations Center server. For more information, see Managing Condition/Severity Colors in the Operations Center 5.5 User Guide.
