The System Administration Menu (SAM) provides system administrators access to the control panel of the organization’s PortalProdigy installation. SAM is accessed remotely via an Internet browser like MS Internet Explorer just as any other page would be accessed on the World Wide Web. SAM is secured and requires a login and password for entry.  From SAM administrators can access feature configuration options in order to customize their site, enter data, update pages, etc.

 

SAM provides an entry point into PORTALPRODIGY’s System Administration which allows a team of permitted non-technical people with content expertise to collaboratively and remotely manage every aspect of your Website from anywhere at any time.  PORTALPRODIGY also provides options for creating specialized menus for specific users and groups of users.
