==Configuration – Essentials==
===Before you create a main menu link using website theme===
Follow the steps below to create a sample portal with a '''Main Menu''' link that uses the '''Website''' theme.
You must have '''Global Administrator''' privileges to create and modify portals. You will also need to have a Universal Tracking Application (UTA) configured within your system and you need to have a list views configured in that UTA.
We suggest you do the exercises in this article in the '''Portal Draft''' Mode of the '''Common''' role in your system. Assets created in the Draft Mode will not be overwritten daily, so you can work on these exercises over multiple days. Anything built in the draft mode, will not affect live users as long as you don’t deploy the changes. In addition assets created on the '''Common''' role can be easily shared amongst multiple roles so you don’t have to create and maintain the same content on multiple roles. Lastly when desired you can '''refresh''' the draft portal by overwriting everything on the draft portal with what is currently configured on the live portal.
