Add or edit captive portal
When a new captive portal is added, a captive portal will appear with the following configuration parameters:
Name: Identifier of the portal.
Owner: Organization, location group or location to which the portal will be associated.
Template: Design from which we will start to make the configuration. There are 4 different templates:
Simple: It is the simplest to configure if you want to implement a portal quickly.
Fullscreen: The most customizable template, so the most advisable in case you want a more personalized design.
Social: Aspect based on the wall of social networks.
Wifi4eu: It meets all the requirements of the Wifi4EU initiative, promoted by the European Commission to provide municipalities with Wifi.
Then, or when you click on edit a portal already created, you can see the configuration environment:
Work Area: Allows you to select the configuration area of the captive portal, in addition to observe how will be the look&feel according to the changes made.
Toolbar: The different configuration parameters can be selected.
Tool options: Within each configuration parameter in this space we will see the different editing options.
General Options: They are the same for all the templates:
Preview: shows a preview of the result of the portal edition. It allows you to simulate the final appearance that a client will see, being able to select the Access Methods, the language and the type of device (laptop or smartphone).
Save: Saves the introduced changes without abandoning the editing window.
Delete: Deletes the portal from the database. This option only appears if the portal doesn't have an asociated WLAN.
Validate: Saves the introduced changes and goes back to the Portal List.
Discard: Goes back to the Portal List. If there has been any changes without saving, it will appear a confirmation pop-up window.
The different portal configuration options are described below, depending on the option selected in the toolbar:
Mobile/PC: Changing mobile and desktop views in the portal editing area. Some configuration parameters like the backgroud image differs and it is necessary to configure it in both views. The portal is responsive, but depending on the pixels on the screen of the client device it will apply one or the other.
Language: Allows you to select the language displayed in the configuration area. The options displayed will be those configured in the Languages parameter on the General data tab.
General data:
Name: The name assigned to the portal will be indicated.
Owner: You must select a Organization, Location Group or Location to which the portal will be attributed.
Lenguages: The languages that you want to appear on the portal will be marked. The English language is automatically configured and within the selected languages it will be possible to configure which is loaded by default, in case the language configured in the browser of the user's device is not in the list. Keep in mind:
The captive portal will always automatically load the language the customer has in the device's browser and, in case it is not in the list, the default language.
All the editable texts of the portal (title, subtitle, footer, ...) must be translated into the configured languages. It is also very important to take these languages into account when configuring legal texts and campaigns.
