Configure your data portal
Data Fair allows to present your data in a portal.
It is possible to configure several portals for the same account.
Portals can be public, for open data, or private to share data internally.
The portal configuration page is accessible through the navigation bar. A list of your portals is available. You can create, delete, configure and duplicate your portals.
Configure a portal
A portal can be created with the Create a new portal button.
A default configuration is available on your portal.
When setting up your portal, you are working on a Draft. Once you are satisfied with your draft, you can save it to Current Version. The Current version is the version presented to the visitors of your portal.
The portal configuration interface is divided into 5 parts:
- The configuration menu allows to modify the various parameters of your portal.
- Allows you to switch from draft to current version
- The preview allows you to view the draft or the current version of your portal.
- The Publish draft button allows you to switch your draft to the current version. The Reset button allows to return to the default configuration.
