Create a Portal

This topic will guide you through the steps of creating a Portal.

Step 1: Enter the Portal wizard

1. Go to the CELUM Experience dashboard.

2. Click the "New" button to enter the Portal wizard.
   

Step 2: Configure Portal details

1. Define a name for your Portal. The name can consist of maximum 50 characters.

2. Choose one of the accessibility options for your Portal:
   

• "Public" access: Portals with this kind of accessibility are designed to reach greater audiences and can be visited and shared by anyone who has the link to your Portal.

• "Protected" access: Portals with this kind of accessibility are designed to accommodate protected information that you only want to share with a selected audience. Such Portal can only be accessed by users within your organisation.

3. (Optional) Click the "Invite" button on the curator panel to invite curators to your Portal.
   

   You can invite members of your organisation as curators for your Portal. The members need to have the Experience permission enabled. For more detailed information, see "Manage curators" section in Edit a Portal.

Step 3: Choose design theme (Optional)

1. Click the dropdown menu under the "Design theme" section.
   

2. Select an already created design theme from the list.

   You can click the "Preview" button to see the font and typography styling of the design theme before you apply it.

3. Click on the design theme you want to apply.

Step  4: Customise Portal URL (Optional)

The standard domain for Portal URLs is the "portal.celum.com" domain, but you can add your own domain and custom slug.

1. Click the dropdown menu under the "Domains" section.
   

2. Select an already connected domain from the list.

3. Define a slug that will be displayed as a unique identifier for the Portal page at the end of the custom URL. (Optional)

   Defining a slug can make your URL more userfriendly, because it can provide a short and accurate description on what your page is about. This setting is optional, because if you do not define a slug, an ID will be automatically generated instead that will be used as slug.

Step 5: Add a Library

The assets presented through your Portal are stored in a dedicated Library. In this step you add one or multiple previously created Libraries that will be used by your Portal. You can create a Portal without adding a Library at this point however it will be essential to add one or more later if you want to make use of all the features.

It is also good practice to consider creating a separate Library for the following purposes:

• A Library containing assets used for Portal customisation like logos, banners,

• A Library assets intended for use in the asset gallery widget.

To add Libraries, proceed as follows:

1. Click on the "Libraries" tab under the "Portal details" tab.

2. Click the "Add Library" icon .

3. Choose one or multiple Libraries from the drop-down.

   You can add multiple Libraries to your Portal and you can click "x" to remove an added Library. Up to 100 Libraries per Portal are supported.

Step 6: Finish Portal creation

1. Click "Create".

2. The Portal is created and the Portal designer will open so you can begin designing your Portal.
