In this section, you will learn how to add additional items to your portal's left navigation menu, such as custom pages, iFrame pages, and links which offer additional flexibility for your Partner content.  Below is a breakdown of the available custom page types:

  • Custom Page - Custom pages allow you to create tailored content with Widgets, empowering you to showcase specific information or features relevant to your Partners. You can create up to two levels of pages in your site navigation, including top-level pages and one level of subpages.

  • Link - A linkable page that appears in the left navigation that provides direct access to essential tools and resources, including external applications without the need to navigate through multiple pages or interfaces.

  • iFrame Page - iFrame pages enable you to embed external applications or pages seamlessly into your portal, expanding its functionality and offering a more integrated user experience for your partners.  


You can add up to three top-level custom navigation items to the left navigation menu. Top-level custom pages and iFrame pages can include one level of subpages.
