The e2ePortalProject Web application consists of three portals: Log In, Employee, and Manager.
- Log In—Enables employees to log in to and interface with the Employee Management System. The source file for this portal is Login.portal.

- Employee—Enables employees to view their employee profiles and order office equipment. The source file for this portal is Employee.portal.
Employee Portal
- Manager—Enables managers to view a list of their direct employees and to approve office equipment orders. The source file for this portal is Manager.portal.
Manager Portal
As shown, each portal in the e2ePortalProject application project defines a hierarchical structure with the following elements:
- Header and Footer
- Body containing:
- Single book and page
- Two-column layout
- Placeholders for each portlet
- Set of portlets (described in Reviewing the Portlets)
The framework folder defines the look and feel elements available to the application project. The Look and Feel property in the Property Editor window is set to default for each of the portal files.
The portlets are described in detail in the next section.
