Are you finding it difficult to reach users outside your organization? Do you want to share information about your business publicly? Are you looking for a way to teach your customers about your offerings? Zoho Learn's custom portals address these issues.

 

Understanding custom portals in Zoho Learn 

From sharing important company announcements to training your customers without restrictions, from providing detailed instructional guides for your stakeholders to tracking product knowledge through quizzes, portals in Zoho Learn are your gateway to the external world.

Custom portals are a one-stop shop for all your external needs. Reach users outside your organization, engage with them through manuals and articles, and train them through online training courses.

 

Highlights of our custom portals 

Zoho Learn's custom portals have several tools that enable you to create a customized experience for your users. Here are some examples:

User access and management 

Create multiple branded portals and invite portal users through email invitations. Customize your portals and allow admin-approved portal user signups. Tweak your settings and choose who can access information for individual manuals and courses specifically. Offer a highly curated user library.

Create public portals for external training

Share essential information about your products and offerings to everyone using a simple link. Users can access your knowledge base with a single click and acquire training using a quick enrollment in your public portal, which Zoho Learn makes simple and fast.

Build private portals for sensitive data sharing

Whether it's detailed instructional guides about your offerings, specific company policies, beta product updates, or company performance analytics, you can carefully share sensitive data through private portals. At the same time, you can direct specific learners to undergo training to increase product adoption and business growth. Track their progress and look into high-level course insights to assess the retention of external learners.

Customize your entire portal 

Provide a consistent experience for your external stakeholders by customizing your portal completely. Create a distinct identity for your portal by adding a logo and customizing the display colors, banner, and footer. Make your portal consistent by mapping it to your custom domain.

The UX is super simple to understand and collecting multiple articles into manuals was a game changer. We use Zoho Learn internally for onboarding new team members and to provide additional value for our clients through a portal.
