■ News Area. This Web Part is placed by default on the News Web Part Page.<br />

It is based on the Grouped Listing Web Part, with the maximum number of listings<br />

set to 3. It ignores listings in the anchor area, uses a minimum display template,<br />

groups the listings by area, <strong>and</strong> sorts listings by creation date in<br />

descending order. The subarea layers property is set to one. Therefore, the<br />

Web Part will display the links in the Portal Listings list for the subareas<br />

beneath the current area Web Part; for example, if you placed this Web Part on<br />

the Topics page, it would display any links that were stored in the Portal Listings<br />

list for the subareas Divisions, <strong>Resource</strong>s, Strategy, Projects, <strong>and</strong> Locations.<br />

If you placed this Web Part on the portal site’s home page, any links that were<br />

stored in the Portal Listings list for Topics, News, <strong>and</strong> Sites would be displayed.<br />

■ Topic Assistant Suggestion. Used to display topic assistant suggestions for<br />

this area. The information that you view in this Web Part is a subset of the information<br />

you could view if you displayed an area’s Portal Listings list <strong>and</strong> chose<br />

the Suggestions view. The custom properties allow you to specify the maximum<br />

number of items to display, (the default is 50), fix the width of the Web Part to<br />

the first table row, specify the widths of columns, <strong>and</strong> customize the display text<br />

if the Topic Assistant has suggested no items for this area.<br />

Tip A Web Part that is not in any of the galleries but is very useful is the<br />

Web Part named Portal Owner QuickStart Guide that is displayed on a portal<br />

site’s home page. In the Miscellaneous category section, the property<br />

HTML for Links’ text box contains code. This code displays links that, when<br />

clicked, open a separate window displaying Help files. This Web Part can be<br />

exported <strong>and</strong> then imported on any other Web page <strong>and</strong> amended to suit<br />

your requirements.<br />
