General Overview

Portal page consists of two main areas:

The header which contains:
- the Logo icon
- the Language option
- the Administrator option (if logged in user has Administrator privileges)
- the Logged In User information and Log Out button (if not hidden)

The working area which contains five tab headers (Dashboard, Inbox, workflows, Scheduled and History) that open their correspondent panels, which will be described in more detail within the following pages.

General Settings

During installation of Flowster Studio or Flowster Studio Portal component, the following settings are deployed with "false" default value (except Lock-Header setting which is set to "true"). If the settings are set to "true", the buttons will be hidden in Portal. The default values can be changed by accessing Administrator → Client Apps page and selecting the desired Portal client app:

Hide-Logout: hides the log out button

CAUTION: This setting only applies for the Forms authentication type. For Windows authentication type, the button is hidden by default and this setting is ignored.

Hide-RefreshCategories: hides the update button in Workflows page

Hide-PersistState: hides the persisted state button for workflows in History and Inbox pages. If set to "true" the example workflows in the below picture would be hidden.

Hide-Restart: hides the restart button for workflows in History page

Lock-Header: locks the header when the user scrolls in menu entries.

Language

The default language for Portal is set during the installation, but it can be modified after login, by clicking on Language and selecting the desired language option (the language selection is persisted/saved per user and will also be applied for emails templates sent on user's behalf, for example emails sent during approval process).
