230 – Portal
This two-day course includes instruction where you will learn how to manage and create portal apps. A portal is a collection of apps (applications) that can be presented to clients. These apps are process-driven collections of web pages created using LabVantage’s Web Page Designer.
These pages present a more dynamic interface to these clients than traditional forms and lists. You will learn how to create interactive dashboards and pages to present data to your Portal users. These clients may be groups of people who do not work in the laboratory but may require a means of accessing laboratory data.
