Custom Portal Page Content Tips

• The HTML content from the page you specify will be displayed in the custom content area on the portal page. You can include elements such as links and graphics, but be sure the source HTML specifies an absolute path for these elements.
• Be sure your custom content displays correctly for wide (computer), medium (tablet), and narrow (phone) screens.
• You do not have to reload Polaris PowerPAC to clear the cache whenever you change your custom content. The HTML is reloaded whenever the portal page is accessed and the content was cached more than five minutes previously. Also, you can enable or disable the custom content by setting or clearing the profile without reloading Polaris PowerPAC.
