Portal

This page describes a concept which is part of our glossary

In Wiki Organisation, a portals is a "home page" for a particular department, role, user or other high-level concept such as procedures or projects. See Wikipedia:Enterprise Portal for a general definition of this kind of portal. At Organic Design, we used to exclusively use the "Portal" namespace for all portals, but many of our portals are now actually category pages with the standard items hidden and replaced with a portal structure. In general we have a portal for the top level nodes in the Ontology which include all the record types and contain the following kinds of information:

• Creation (of new member records)
• Searches
• Queries (of associated records, e.g. Orders associated with a Person)
• Calendar: interface to member records
• Activity: Most recently used member records
• Procedures: related to this type (e.g. procedures associated with a Wiki, Computer or Person)
• Reports: Creation of dynamic PDF reports of all category items listed in portal
