What Are Portal Pages?
Portal Pages enable the development of single webpages and multi-page websites hosted on Metric Insights. They are incredibly flexible, allowing you to utilize the basic toolset for building websites: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The tools permit a User to create highly curated experiences around content from any source supported in Metric Insights.
