Configuring IWC for Workcenter/Homepage/Dashboard

Go to IWC Configuration Page.
Navigation: Main Menu>Peopletools >Portal>Interwindow Communication
Or alternate way to access IWC page is

IWC is ready for test.

Best Practices:
- While creating PS query with prompts, always provide unique text id.
- Provide page field name in edit box properties will make the work easier while configuring IWC.
Limitations:
- A subscribing pagelet should be completely loaded before it consumes a publishing message
- Works for fields at level zero only.
