Portals

A portal is a collection of channels, as well as the information needed to place them on a Web page. Some portals are installed by Collaboration and Approvals and used in apps to display PowerView pages, but they may also be created for use in custom Java applications. You can create portal objects if you have the portal administrative access.

Portal refers to the administration object, and not to the broader internet definition described in JSR 168.

Before creating a portal, the channels that it will contain must be defined. Channels are child objects of portals—channels are created first and then added to portal definitions, similar to the association between types and attributes. Changes made in any definition are instantly available to the applications that use it.
