==Example of a Portal==
Once a user has been [[User#Activating a User|activated]], they will be able to [[Login Page|log into]] your SmartSimple [[instance]]. The first page that they see is the '''Portal. '''The below image is an example of what a portal might look like:

All the elements of a user's portal - such as what tabs the Main Menu links are displayed on the top header, what graphics or texts are displayed on the main dashboard each page, the user's personal menu items and more - are all highly configurable.
==Portal Building – Essentials==
===Common aggregated portal vs single role portals===
There are two ways in which you can create a portal. You can create the portal on the Common role which is aggregated, meaning assets are shared across multiple roles, or you can create a portal on a single role. Iff If you take this path, assets will not be shared and users will need to flip between roles.
====Common aggregated portal====
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|-
||Name
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|-
||Width
To change the theme for a section:
# Go to the main menu '''Main Menu''' or user menu '''User Menu''' link with the content type set to “Sections”'''Sections'''.
# Choose the desired theme from the drop-down.
# Click '''Save'''.
# Go to the root of the portal using the hierarchical navigation.
# Click the preview '''Preview''' button.
You can try out different themes for each page this way. Note: the functionality and configuration options differ for each theme. For example, in the default theme you can render a section in split screen whereas that is not available in the white paper or website themes.
====Website Theme====
The website theme was designed with imagery in mind. This theme looks more like a website with graphical banners and image shortcuts. Typically, this theme is used for people like applicants or volunteers, and when you want to convey a brand feeling or tone.
