Functional Areas

The functional areas of Collaboration, which appear as tabbed project pages, are:

• Calendar
• Tasks
• Documents
• Discussions

If you have not loaded the complete set of Collaboration portlets, you can manually adjust the tabs that appear in the application view. For example, if you have decided not to use the Community Calendar portlet, you can remove the Calendar functional area so that the Calendar tab does not display in the application view.

NOTE: Either Community Discussions or Community Discussion Messages cause the Discussions tab to display. Similarly, the Community Tasks cause the Task tab to display.

Select the functional areas whose portlets are loaded on your community page, and clear the check boxes for the functional areas you do not want to display. If a functional area has content associated with it, you cannot hide its tab (its check box is disabled).
