<p>The Portal Customization section within the Administrator Console is designed to allow you to customize the environment your users experience.  By creating Profiles, you can assign any number of users to that Profile, which controls the following features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Navigation<br /></li>
<li>Login Landing Page<br /></li>
<li>Desktop Layout</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Walkthrough</span></strong></p>
<p>After entering the Portal Customization section, your first step is to "<strong>Add Profile</strong>".  The button can be found up at the top right.</p>
<p>1.  <strong>Enter your Profile's name</strong>.  This is typically a descriptor of who is going to be assigned to this profile or how it is going to be customized.</p>
<p>2.  <strong>Select a Landing Page</strong>.  For example, if you want the users to go straight to their Personal Documents section, select "My Documents".  If you want them to go straight to a Group's Documents section, click "Shared Documents" and then select the desired Group from the new dropdown that appears.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> Any users that are added to the profile must be a member of the Group whose landing page they are directed to at login, otherwise they will receive an "Access Denied" message.</p>
<p>3.  <strong>Select the Desktop Layout Option</strong>.  You can leave it up to the individual user to decide their Personal Desktop's layout, or you can set it up yourself.  Please refer to the "Personal Section" category in Online Help for more information about Desktop features.</p>
<p>4.  <strong>Create the Profile.</strong>  Creating the profile gives you a set of navigation settings that you can now apply to your users.</p>
<p>5.  <strong>Edit the Profile and Add Users.</strong>  Now is your opportunity to confirm the settings and add users to your new Profile.  You can assign users to this Portal Customization Profile by moving over the desired users and saving your changes.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> For any changes made after your initial setup, be sure to re-add the users you want the changes to apply to.  Changes are NOT retroactive.</p>
<p>6.  <strong>Save the Profile</strong>, and observe your changes!  Users will need to log out and log back in prior to seeing their applied changes.</p>
