About Portal rules

Use portal rules to create a custom portal layout for a group of users. You can determine:

• The portal role — User (portals whose users do not update rules) or Developer (portals whose users update rules).
• The portal type — Custom or composite.
• The harnesses for the composite portals.
• CSS styles for the portal window, reports, and user forms.

Composite portals

Composite portals are defined by harnesses and sections. Composite portals are cross-browser compatible and supports Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Google Chrome browsers. As a best practice, use composite portals for new development.
Two samples of composite portals are provided: User and Manager.

Access
