==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|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 roles with associated [[Portal|portals]], then a combined portal will be displayed. Duplicate icons from each role are not displayed.* The [[Portal]] interface is never displayed to {{GUA}}s or {{LUATemplate:CreatePortal}}s. If a [[User|user]] is an [[Administrator|administrator]] and has other [[Role|roles]] with associated [[Portal|portals]], these are accessed through the [[Application|Applications]], '''My Portal''' 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|portal]] user to see the people on-line feature, you must enable the People on-line [[Menu|menu]] for the [[Role|role]]. There is no portal icon that represents this feature.
