Overview

These pages show how to set up (but not create) and maintain a website created with OctEportal.  The technical issues of how to use each module and other functions are available from the Support Menu entry.

In order to maintain the site you need enter the website URL for the site created by OctEportal.  Then login with the login and password assigned to you as administrator.

This adds two items to the main menu related to Administration as in this example:

'Administrator Account' details

This item allows you to customise how you will be reflected when you contact users or customers.  This form - in a slightly different format - is used by all registered users,  but you can tailor some parts specifically for administration, and these are the details that your users see when they contact you.

Name: By default the Administrator name is set as shown.  You may want to personalise this if you are a small company.

Username and password:  These are initially set by OctEportal.  If you want to change your password, enter a new password, then enter it again to confirm

Address: Select the country.  Add the necessary items to complete a valid address.  This varies with country and with personal preference. 

Administrator Specific: To ensure consistency of address format, as administrator, you can make an address field mandatory by ticking the checkbox next to it.  For instance, in the UK the postcode would probably be required.  Users who are not administrators do not see the checkboxes.  Note: currently this form does not look up addresses

Saving Changes: Click  to save any changes,  abandon changes,  to remove the administrator (not generally a good idea!)
