For each environment, you can separately configure its respective portal. Rename it, theme it to make it brand compliant, and decide which of the published applications should be displayed in the portal.
Access a portal
Each of your environments comes with a separate portal. Each portal has a URL that you need to open to see the content. You can find the link to each portal in the Environments section of the Admin Console.
You will need to share the URL with end users (and potentially authors), as they do not have access to the Admin Console. Simply copy the portal URL from your browser.
💡 If you are working with multi-client applications: Note that to access the portal of a client environment, you need to have an end user account in this client environment. Even as an admin, by default, you do not have an end user account in a newly created client environment. Learn here how to create end user accounts for yourself and others to access the portal.
Select which applications are displayed in a portal
As an admin, you can select which published applications will be made available to the intended audience. An application will be displayed to end users only if they have access to it. Within the application, modules and data views will be displayed only if end users have access to them.
To select which applications are displayed in a portal, follow the steps below:
- Open the Admin Console.
- Open the tab Environments.
- Select Configure on the respective environment.
- Select the PORTAL tab. A list displays the applications that have been published to this environment. Applications are listed in the order in which they were published, meaning that newly published applications are added at the bottom.
- Check the published applications that you would like displayed in the portal.
- Save your changes.
💡 Note that also in client environments, you can add an application to an environment’s portal only if it has been previously published to this client environment by an author.
Reorder applications in a portal
Reordering applications in a portal works similarly to rearranging modules within an application setup. Simply, grab an application and drag it to the desired position.
💡 Note that, depending on your browser or system preferences, the scrollbar (and therefore other published applications) may not be immediately visible.
Rename a portal
As an admin, you can enter a display name for the portal to be seen by your end users. Go to the PORTAL tab in the Environments section and enter a display name. Save your changes.
Apply a custom theme to a portal
You can select a theme for each environment. This theme is not only applied to applications published in this environment, but also to its portal. The branded portal will then use the same logo, fonts, and colors. Learn here how to do this.
Deactivate a portal
For built-in environments, Test and Live, ask your Customer Success Manager to disable the portal feature. Once the feature is disabled, none of the portals can be accessed anymore. This has, however, no effect on the published applications. They remain accessible via their specific URLs.
