How to Start a Portal

Key considerations:

• Depending on the project need, portals can be driven dynamically from Views or statically from Tables.

• External content that the portal renders within the site must be hyperlinked "https". Links out can be http or https.

• Removing facets can improve performance.

What are the first steps?

1. A Synapse Project drives the backend of the portal. Make a project (e.g. PEC).

2. Define a url by opening a Jira issue with PORTALS (e.g. PEC).

3. Implement design by opening a Jira issue with PORTALS(e.g. PEC)

4. Create Table/View architecture
