Appearance
Portals & Public Pages
Everything in this section is what the other side of a relationship sees — renters, vendors, exhibitors, and the people who just need to sign something or pay a bill.
None of it is your admin app. Portal users have their own records, their own logins, and never see anything but their own data.
Two kinds of public-facing surface
Portals (logged in)
An ongoing relationship with a login and a history.
| Portal | Who | What they do |
|---|---|---|
| Renter Portal | Renters and their contacts | Sign, pay, upload, request bookings, manage payment methods |
| Vendor Portal | Accepted fair vendors | Status, contract, invoices, uploads, sales reporting, promo materials |
| Exhibitor Portal | Fair exhibitors | Entries, results, premiums |
| Government Portal | County and municipal reviewers | Read the list of events flagged for permitting |
The government portal is the odd one out: a reviewer signs in as a member of your account with the Government role rather than as a portal contact, and that role corrals them onto a single read-only page.
Public pages (no login)
A single link that does one job, sent by email.
| Page | For |
|---|---|
| Public Signing Page | Reading and signing an agreement, and paying the deposit |
| Public Invoice Page | Viewing and paying an invoice, downloading the PDF |
Public pages exist because asking somebody to create an account before they can sign a contract loses contracts. The link works, they sign, and if they want a login afterwards it is there.
Branding
Every portal and public page carries your account's logo and details from Settings → General — not ours. The renter is dealing with you.
Turning portals on
The renter portal is enabled in Settings → Portal, where you also decide whether SMS login codes are available.
Vendor and exhibitor portals follow their event's modules.
The government portal needs no switch — invite a reviewer with the Government role in Settings → Team and it is there for them.
Why it is worth it
The portal is the feature that reduces phone calls. A renter who can find their own invoice, pay it, download their signed agreement, and upload their certificate of insurance at nine at night does not call the office on Monday to ask you to email it again.
