Hi Madhi,

I'll try to be brief. Portlets are nothing more than widget screens in OFBiz. Portal pages are used to construct pages using portlets. So it's mostly
a technology used in OFBiz to allow users to build their own screens using existing portlets without touching code.

I'm not an user of this technology and it seems they are few minor issues with it that you might cross while using it (nothing really bad).

You can try it at https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/example/control/ManagePortalPages?parentPortalPageId=EXAMPLE

So you can add columns and in these columns add portlets that you move from places to places afterward.

Technically this should help you: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1999
