• Key Concepts: 
  A port is a communication endpoint in SAP Enterprise Portal Visual Composer (EP-VC). It is used to connect different components of a Visual Composer application, such as a view, a service, or an action. A port can be either an input port or an output port. An input port receives data from another component, while an output port sends data to another component. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use ports in EP-VC, you must first create a connection between two components. To do this, click on the port of the source component and drag it to the port of the target component. This will create a connection between the two components. Once the connection is established, you can configure the ports to send and receive data. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating connections between components, make sure that the ports are compatible. For example, an input port can only be connected to an output port and vice versa. Additionally, make sure that the data types of the ports are compatible. For example, if one port is expecting a string value, then the other port must also be expecting a string value.
