Portals

Portals offer new ways to interact with your panelists, forming a community and collecting feedback in various ways, may it be through discussions between panelists or by taking part in surveys directly from a portal‘s interface. Qualification of survey results or the joint development of survey topics are easily feasible for each survey project.

First steps in Portals

After clicking on the Portals icon located in the navigation bar of EFS, you will be routed to the Portal Overview. Portals can be created and imported. Your new portal will be accessible only for registered panleists by default. This setting can be changed in the procress of configuring your portal.

In order to create a new portal, you click on the tile button + New portal. A new tile for the portal created will be displayed. If this is your first portal, the tile will be labeled Portal 1. Portals added after that will carry increasing sequential numbering. Any new portal comes with pre- defined pages, including layout and page modules.

Edit portal in the overview

Once you have created a portal you can change its default name and access several settings right on the tile in the Portal Overview. In addition to that, you will get the information on how many users are currently online and how many have logged into your portal (e. g. 16/40 would mean that 16 out of 40 registered users are currently online).
