Portal Comment Codes

This comments feature allows your company to post notes or text on the Web Welcome Screen for the customer to view after signing into Portal.
These comments are controlled by customer and by Presentation Themes and are displayed only during a pre-determined date range.
This can be useful to communicate seasonal greetings or to advertise sales promotions, etc.

e.g. Order today to take advantage of our Spring Sale on Garden tools.

Process flow:

• Multiple lines of text can be entered in Portal Comment Codes by code with the dates during which they are to be displayed.
  
• These Comments Codes can then be assigned to a Presentation Theme in the Theme Comments Codes window in Presentation Themes.
• The Presentation theme code can then be assigned to relevant customers in Portal Customers.

The prompts to create the comments are:
