	~~== OLD ==~~
	~~=== Launch Contextual Content in a Web Widget ===~~

	By combining AppBoard and enPortal, you can create special Widgets (called "Channels") that integrate web application GUIs. For a tutorial example of using an enPortal Channel to launch contextual content from an AppBoard Web Widget, see [[Launch_enPortal_Channel\|Launching an enPortal Channel from a Widget]].


	~~=== Display enPortal PIM Content in a Web Widget ===~~

	enPortal PIMs provide out-of-the-box integration of web application GUIs. You may want to display an enPortal channel on a Board in AppBoard. For a tutorial example of using an enPortal Channel to display an integration application GUI in an AppBoard Web Widget, see [[Web_Widget_PIM_Content\|Display PIM Content in a Web Widget]].
