The centralized portal contains all of the links to data sources and content that will be available to tenant users. Content pages, based on a portal template that uses a symbolic reference to tenant_theme.css files, make information available to all users in the appropriate format.
If an individual tenant group needs one or more portal pages that are to be visible only to members of that group, create these pages within the tenant workspace and link to them from the main centralized portal. This limitation ensures that members outside of the tenant group will not see pages intended only for the tenant group.
The tenant_theme.css file contains the .bip-logo class that identifies the address of the tenant workspace logo file in the background-image property. It also contains any additional customizations that alter the look and feel of the default portal frame and features.
The symbolic path defined in the Custom Theme CSS field of the centralized portal redirects the call for a theme to a customized CSS theme file in the workspace of the user who issued the request to run the portal. In turn, the customized CSS theme file includes a property that identifies the logo to use for the tenant workspace.
This two-stage link enables users to overcome the limitation of the variable file path that can only call a single file, and ensures that the appropriate logo and theme are called for when users open the portal.
The configuration of a Collaborative Portal that supports multiple SaaS Tenant groups with varying themes and logos is a multiphase process that requires the creation of tenant workspaces for each tenant group and a separate workspace for the content portal.
As a best practice, we recommend that you use the following workflow when creating a Multi-SaaS Tenant portal using symbolic IBFS paths.
In this video, we will learn how to create and use WebFOCUS Portals. The WebFOCUS portal is a flexible and interactive content management system that users can use to access and share content, customize their portal experience, collaborate, and build sophisticated structures for data storytelling. To create a portal, select a workspace or folder, click the Application tab in the Action Bar, and then click Portal.

If you’d like to group your content in a single application you can create a Portal with pages of related content. A portal is a folder structure to which you can add multiple pages with the option to build them on the same level or in a hierarchy.
Let’s create a portal. On the Home Page, select the Workspaces view. Choose the workspace in which you want to create the portal, and then on the Action Bar, click Portal.
