How the Precise Custom Portal works

The Precise Custom Portal is a Web server portal that displays information from different data providers. The Precise Custom Portal communicates with the data provider through a Web service adapter (for example, Precise Web Service).
The following figure shows how the Precise Custom Portal interacts with the various Web service adapters.

The information displayed in the various portlets is determined by the parameters you select when you configure the portlet. For example, the information displayed in a Precise portlet is determined by the technology that you want to analyze, and by the settings you use to define how you want to view the information (such as a table or bar chart).
