Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a personal page?
- How many personal pages can I create?
- How do I access the "Create Pages" option?
Personal pages are unique pages that you create. Unlike the portal "Home" page and the community "Home" pages, you are able to choose the channels and content of personal pages. These pages are added to your profile, so that they appear every time you log in to the portal. As you create them, they are added to the "My Services" menu on the left-hand navigation bar.
Please note that custom pages are not personal web pages. Instead, custom pages remain within the portal and act simply as additional portal views that display any channels you choose, in the format you specify.
