Portal pages in Opus 2 are highly configurable and are built using the Portal Page Editor, which allows users to assemble content drawn from files, documents, and worksheets. Pages are created using a block‑based, drag‑and‑drop interface that separates page structure, layout, and content editing into clearly defined panels.
The Portal Page Editor is divided into three main panels:
- Left‑hand panel – Used to add sections and components
- Middle panel – Used to build and preview the page layout
- Right‑hand panel – Used to edit the content and settings of selected components
This separation allows users to design the visual structure of a page independently from the content it displays.
Left‑hand panel: Sections
Sections define the page structure. They are horizontal block layouts that determine how content is arranged across the width of the page.
Available section layouts include:
- One section across the page
- Two sections (equal width)
- Two sections (2/3 – 1/3)
- Two sections (1/3 – 2/3)
- Three sections (equal width)
- Four sections (equal width)
Sections are added by dragging them into the layout and stacking them vertically to build the complete page structure.
Left‑hand panel: Components
Components represent the actual content placed within sections.
To add content:
- Select a component type.
- Drag and drop it into an existing section.
- Configure its content after placement.
Supported component types include:
- Text block
- Image
- Link
- Input form
- Calendar
- Timeline
- Worksheet
- Chart
- Cards
- Single card
- Documents
Each component has its own configuration options depending on its type.
Middle panel: Layout and Preview
Layout
The Layout view is the design workspace where sections and components are positioned.
- Sections must be defined before components can be added.
- Both sections and components are added via drag‑and‑drop.
- Components appear as placeholders showing their type.
Preview
The Preview tab shows how the page will appear once published.
- Updates dynamically as changes are made.
- Allows users to review draft layouts and content before publishing.
- Ensures design and content are correct prior to going live.
Right‑hand panel: Component editing
The right‑hand panel is used to edit the content and settings of a selected component.
- Selecting a component in the layout opens its editor.
- Available options depend on the component type.
- Changes are reflected immediately in the preview.
