OM6.1: Admin > CMS > Portal(s)

Note: CMS access is limited to customers on Pro and Enterprise Editions.

The Portal area is where you set up and manage your brand portal — the site your users visit to access assets. From here you configure portal settings, layouts, and custom pages.

Navigate to Admin > CMS > Portal(s)

What you can do here

Portal settings
Configure your portal's core settings, including its name, theme, search page, and you can also add 3rd party scripts here.

Layouts
Manage the layout templates used across your portal pages. Each layout defines which sections appear on a page and in what order — navbar, body, announcements. main content, footer, and so on.

Custom pages
Add new pages to your portal. Each page uses a layout and is populated with content sections you configure. Pages can include asset grids, albums, text blocks, image galleries, FAQs, and more.

Tips

• Changes to your portal are live immediately after saving but you can set visibility to certain roles )a.g. Admin only)
• Use layouts consistently across pages to give your portal a coherent structure. The Default Layout is good enough for most Portals.
• You can add alternative Layouts and each page is assigned a Layout. e.g. you could have a page using a layout with no navbar.
• The smart page assembler section type can automatically pull in Assets in. Search Grid, FAQs and Post content tagged with specific keywords — useful for building documentation pages or operating manuals like this one.
