Arcadia X is an easy method of building custom user interfaces. Arcadia X allows System Administrators to build role-based portals with features such as tab-based navigation, and customized list views with enhanced filtering and searching options.

Building a Role-Based Portal with Arcadia X

A Portal interface is created using the following steps:

  • Click the Portal button in the 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.
  • The Portal interface is automatically displayed to users in the associated role, and the administration interface will no longer be displayed.
  • If the user is in multiple roles with associated portals, then a combined portal will be displayed. Duplicate icons from each role are not displayed.
  • The Portal interface is never displayed to Global User Administrators or Local User Administrators. If a user is an administrator and has other roles with associated portals, these are accessed through the Applications, My Portal menu.
  • You must enable an associated 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.

If you want the portal 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.
