Personalise Portals
Personalise the International Reseller Webadmin client portal website and messaging interface with manual controls, themes, templates, taglines, and signatures.
Use International Reseller Webadmin to personalise the client portal website, messaging interface, templates, taglines, signatures, and theme settings for all users.
When you create a user account, the user receives an email with a link to the client portal. The portal hosts product and company information and lets users sign in to send messages.
Any customisation you make in International Reseller Webadmin applies to all users.
You can customise the website and messaging interface manually or by using a theme:
| Customisation method | Required theme type |
|---|---|
| Manual customisation | Old |
| Theme customisation | New |
You can also apply built-in templates to the website and interface at the same time. Templates apply a uniform set of colours, fonts, and borders, but you cannot customise an applied template.
Personalise the website
The website includes a banner, title, navigation panel, page content, page background, and footer. Users select links in the navigation panel to browse the site.
