Creating a Portal

Knowledge Spaces™ Portal

Portals provide a web experience that is optimized for the user's device, whether they are using a desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone. Portal pages adapt to browser display sizes and orientations without losing format or requiring any code modification. This ensures better experience for end users while reducing the time and effort required to create and maintain portals.

Creating a Portal

Portal Administrators must login to Portal Administration as Portal Administrators for creating portals.

Note:

  • Add Portal in this page cannot be used if there are no PS4 Portals.          
  • View becomes available for use, only after the default settings are saved.          
  • Use Edit to customize configuration settings of the selected portal. This involves editing the Portal-Config.XML.          
  • Click Save  and then View to see the portal with the changed settings. 

Moxie™ recommends not to convert an existing PS4 portal that is actively being used by users to a new portal. Instead, create a fresh PS4 portal and render it into a new Portal as described in the steps above.
