Hover your mouse on the Portal Menu so the drop-down appears and click New Page, you will be taken to a new window where you can Name your New Page, select which Portal you'd like it to be in, and add a Custom URL if you'd like to configure a Linked Page.

You will once again be taken to a new window where you can Name your New Page and select which Portal you'd like it to be in.

Linked Page


When creating a new page you have the Advanced Options of Custom URL, this would mean the Page is a link to something outside of ShareVision. To create a Linked Page, a website needs to be added to the Custom URL box.
