Portal settings

Each project's portal has its own welcome message and four switches: the AI status summary, booking, support tickets and invoices. Change them on the project's Client portal tab.

The portal settings form on a project's Client portal tab, with a Welcome message box and checkboxes for AI status summary, Book a call, Support tickets and Invoices
The welcome message and the four switches. All four start switched on.

How to

  1. Open the project and choose the Client portal tab. If there is no portal yet, click Create portal first.
  2. Type a Welcome message. It appears at the top of the portal, line breaks and all.
  3. Tick or untick AI status summary, Book a call, Support tickets and Invoices.
  4. Click Save portal settings. The portal changes the next time your client loads it.

The switches

SwitchWhen on, the portal shows
AI status summaryA "Where things stand" paragraph written by AI from the project's milestones, deliverables and requests.
Book a callA button to your public booking page. Needs a booking page address for your business.
Support ticketsThe client's tickets that are not resolved or closed (up to 10).
InvoicesThe client's open invoices, each with a Pay button.

Everything else, the timeline, scope, deliverables, requests and sent updates, always shows when there is something to show. To hide the portal completely, use Disable.

The AI status summary

The summary is not written while the client waits. A scheduled job refreshes it in the background for every enabled portal with the switch on, but only when a milestone, deliverable or request has changed since the last summary. A brand-new portal gets its first summary on the next run.

Until a summary exists, the "Where things stand" section is simply left out. It is never shown as empty.

The summary needs AI to be configured for your business. If AI is not available, the switch can stay ticked but no summary is written, and the section does not appear. See When AI buttons are switched off.

Invoices and tickets come from the client

The invoices and tickets sections are matched to the project's client contact, not to the project. If the same client has two projects, both portals show all of that client's open invoices and tickets.

If you work for several people at one company and keep them as separate contacts, each project's portal shows only the invoices and tickets of the contact set as that project's client.
