Portal Management
Introduction
The following describes the heirarchy and relationship of a portal and its sub items (projects) from the owners persepective. The end user only sees the portal as a link and need not be aware there is any difference between a portal and a project. To an end user, the project is a portal.What is a portal?
A portal, from Secure Collaboration Portal (SCP) perspective is a distinct group of secure web pages and elements that can be viewed after a user has logged in and been granted access.What is a project?
These secure items are further grouped into collections which can be described according to the trade, service or information they may represent. For example a lawyer may create a distinct group of cases, a property investor a distinct group of properties and a doctor a distinct group of patients.Throughout this documentation we will refer to the Portal as a collection of these distinct group of items, and that distinct group of items as a project.
The Lawyer/Property Investor Scenario
In this case the layer or property investor may open a project for each case or property they own. The information held in each project is unique to each project and they can manage the permissions and right to read/write each project individually.
The Doctor/Patient scenario
In this scenario the doctor has elevated the patient from a project to a portal. Each portal contains a number of projects which is merely the term used to describe a selection of related items. Each patient may have a number of similar items such as blood tests, x-rays and other relevent, but distinct information.
See the project glossary for other terms used in this documentation.
