Define General Properties for an Action Catalog Widget

Use the General page (accessed from within the Action Catalog Widget Properties window) to define the general properties for an Action Catalog Widget. The Action Catalog Properties window is accessed from within the Widget Manager when you create or edit an Action Catalog Widget.

Use the General page (accessed from within the Action Catalog Widget Properties window) to define the following general properties for an Action Catalog Widget:

• Image: To display inside the Widget bounding box. You can also add an image above the Widget (header area).
• Title: To display inside the Widget bounding box. You can also add a label above the Widget (header area).
• Description: To display below the title.
• Allow Anonymous Access to Action Catalog in the Portal:

  If selected, the Action Catalog (OOTB Example: Service Catalog) is viewable to Anonymous Users when they click on a link to the Action Catalog from a Dashboard, Menu link, or Button. For additional configuration requirements for Anonymous access, see Enable Anonymous Views for the Service Catalog.

  If not selected, the Action Catalog is not viewable to Anonymous Users when they click a link to the Action Catalog from a Dashboard, Menu link, or Button. This occurs even if the associated Business Object(s) are configured to allow Anonymous access.
