Customize

Customizing Portal is a key feature that will allow you to navigate where ever you need. Right now the application is in its infancy, but we are constantly working on features to make Portal as useful as possible.

After logging in using the Manage Instance link at the top right on the navigation bar, you should be redirected to a login screen. On this screen, use your confirmed email address, as well as the password for the account. Once you have logged in you will be taken to the Customization Page.

Above is a photo of the customization page.

As we can see this page currently offers 3 key features with our portal instance: Adding Admins, Updating Titles and Taglines, and Adding Links.

Adding Admins

Adding admins and users is a feature that will allow you to add more users as admins to the portal instance. In the future we would like portal to be the door for all applications with the ability for users and admins to be created and managed from the portal instance. Currently adding an admin will only add an administrator account for the Portal application.

After entering an email address and clicking the Add Admin button, an email will be generated and sent of to the new admin with a confirmation link and a password.

Updating Titles and Taglines

The first field in the Titles and Taglines section is the Title which shows up on the left of the navigation bar. The tagline is the block in the center of the page.

Adding Links

Links can be added with pretty names to link you to your applications on your instance. By default when you deploy an instance, Portal will look at the applications deployed and create links to these services automatically. These can be adjusted with the Adding Links Form and button.
