The Applicant Portal tab in Setup is where you can change the settings for your Applications portal and customise it's look to match your Establishment's branding.

Here you can see an example of where each of the options shows on the login page:

Portal Title

This where you tell your Applicant's who's portal they're logging into, and also the text that shows in the page title.

Favicon image

This is the small picture which shows on the left of the page title. While it can be any size, please be aware that this image will be shrunk down to 16x16px, so a simple rendition of your establishment's logo would be best.

Logo Image

This is the banner which shows above the Portal Title. As with the favicon, any size banner can be uploaded, but the image will be shrunk down.

Main Image

This is the large picture displaced to the left of the portal login details.

Image Overlay Text

This is the strip of text that appears on a grey background on the bottom left of the login page.

Login Page Message

This piece of text is found under the "forgotten your password?" link.

Button text

This is the text found on the 'login' button. You can change the appearance of the button using Button Text Colour and Button Fill Colour options.

New application (APS form)

If you want your students to be able to submit a new application from the portal, then select the form to use here. Please note the form must be published in Web Form Builder before it will be shown in the list.

Portal Help articles from (public KLBs only)

This is where you can select an occurrence of Knowledgebase to show i the portal. This lets the student self-serve any frequently asked questions they may have.

Contact Us (RAP/ ENQ Form)

Use this dropdown to select a Rapid Response form which feeds into an occurrence of Enquiries so your Student's can contact you if they have questions not covered by your Knowledgebase.

Send Portal Message Emails

When sending the student a message into the portal for an application update, the platform also sends the student a reminder message to check their portal. The Send From Name and Send From Email options allow you to specify who this email comes from.
