To configure your portal, navigate to Configuration > GO! View. There are three menu options:
Themes
The location for the school's logo and portal name.
Personas
The location to define which content is visible by which groups of users, such as all students or staff members.
Announcements
The location to share announcements for targeted personas.

You can configure one global SSO portal that applies to all users or multiple portals for unique audiences, guided by your district's specific needs. When determining how many portals are needed, consider the target audience and which apps they need access to.

Themes

The Themes menu allows administrators to set up branding for each persona to include the portal name, a logo and favicon, along with the portal name which displays at the top of the portal. When defining a new persona, at least one theme for that persona must exist.

  1. Name: Enter a unique name for this theme. This is not the name that will show at the top of the portal; this is the name that identifies the contents of this theme.

  2. Logo URL: Enter the public URL for the target logo.

    To obtain the URL for the logo, navigate to Configuration > Systems > Data > Images and click Add Image to upload the image and obtain a public URL.

  3. Favicon URL: Enter the public URL for the target icon. A favicon is the image that shows on the browser tab to more quickly identify the contents of that web page.

    To obtain the URL for the logo, navigate to Configuration > Systems > Data > Images and click Add Image to upload the image and obtain a public URL.

  4. GO! View Title: Enter a name which displays at the top of the portal.

Personas

A persona is a group of users that share something in common: all staff, all students, students at a specific school or in a specific grade level, guardians, or other groups. Before designing a customized portal, think about who the target audience is, what rights they should have to customize their portal experience, and what app icons they will see on their dashboard.
Note:At least one persona must exist and must be applied to the correct access groups before the RapidIdentity GO! iOS app will function.
To add a persona, click Add Persona. The following sections will appear:
General
You can give the persona a unique name, control whether the persona will be applied based on roles or attributes, enable third-party access, and select a theme for the persona.
Note:It is possible that one person may have multiple roles and may be a member of multiple personas, such as Teacher and Guardian. Depending on how many personas are created, be prepared for this possibility. People falling into that category will see a choice when they login to their dashboard.
Customization
You can customize the user interface by modifying the Default UI setting to set app size, density, and background appearance. You can also customize user permissions to allow individual portal personalization, including home screen organization and custom applications.

For more information about adding custom applications, see User Created Custom Apps.

Applications
You can define which applications will display by default for the target persona. After adding an application, they will appear in the same order they will appear by default in the portal.
Note:

Use the Star and Lock icons to have an application appear in the portal by default and prevent users from removing the application respectively.

After configuring the persona, click Save.

Folders

In the GO! view, administrators can create and customize folders. Curating folders extends the ability for an administrator to customize the home screen for the best user experience. Administrator managed folders are not able to be modified by users.

For more details on the configuration process of folders, refer to Administrator Managed Folders for GO! View.
