| − | ==Steps to Create a Portal==
| |
| − | | |
| − | A [[Portal]] interface is created using the following steps:
| |
| − | * Click the [[Portal]] button in the [[Role|Roles]] list for the required role.
| |
| − | * Add each icon and narrative text required.
| |
| − | * Most [[SmartSimple]] functions are selectable through the '''Shortcut List''' within the [[Portal]] screen, but other links can be manually added and associated with an icon and narrative text.
| |
| − | * A small wrench symbol is displayed to the left of the [[Portal]] button in the '''Role List''' view once a portal has been established for that [[Role|role]].
| |
| − | * The [[Portal]] interface is automatically displayed to [[User|users]] in the associated [[Role|role]], and the [[Administration Interface|administration interface]] will no longer be displayed.
| |
| − | * If the [[User|user]] is in multiple [[Role|roles]] with associated [[Portal|portals]], then a combined portal will be displayed. Duplicate icons from each [[Role|role]] are not displayed.
| |
| − | * The [[Portal]] interface is never displayed to Global or Local [[Administrator|Administrators]]. If a [[User|user]] is an administrator and has other [[Role|roles]] with associated [[Portal|portals]], these are accessed through the '''Applications''', '''My Portal''' [[Menu|menu]].
| |
| − | * You must enable an associated [[Menu|menu]] item for the associated '''Portal Shortcut''' to function. If you do not, the system message – '''function not available please contact system administrator''' – will be displayed to the [[User|user]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you want the portal [[User|user]] to see the people on-line feature, you must enable the '''People on-line''' menu for the role. There is no portal icon that represents this feature.
