Adding a dynamic container to a portal

Define the main area of your portal by specifying where your application opens documents, such as cases or pages, and provide your users with a clear and intuitive workspace.

Dynamic containers display content in the main pane of the portal. You can define a default view for a container, but if the user opens a document, the application replaces the default view with the selected content, without reloading the portal. This architecture helps users access documents without page refreshes, which reduces context switching and improves the user experience.

Each portal supports only one dynamic container.

Note: When you create a portal in App Studio, Pega Platform generates the dynamic container automatically.
