The portal page is the landing page of your help center and can be customized to help your users navigate to the right content.

To customize how content source pages appear in your site, open the theme configurator tab Pages and scroll to Portal Page.

The banner contains a title, a subtitle as well as a search bar and a background image.

Within the theme configurator you can change:

  • Title: The (optional) title is shown prominently above the search bar in the banner.

  • Subtitle: The (option) subtile is shown below the title in the banner.

Content Sources Tiles

In the lower part of the portal page, users can overview all content sources that are part of the site and navigate to to a specific content source by clicking a tile.

In the theme configurator you can control how the individual tiles display:

  • Tile Size: Choose to show your content sources as compact, regular or large tiles.

  • Tile Layout: Choose to organize the content sources tiles under differentiated sections or filters.

    • Section (default): All tiles are visible at once on the portal page and organized under category headings. You can sort the individual tiles into as many custom categories as you like and define the order of the tiles.
