As a portal administrator, you have the ability to customize your portal to better fit the brand and practices of your institution.
General
Subdomain
Every portal has a unique subdomain in the format {subdomain}.riipen.com. Your subdomain is configured as part of your institution's purchase of Riipen.
Profile
Your portal comes with its own profile which represents your institution to other users. The profile includes basic configurable information that's relevant for employers and learners such as name and location, while also containing activity of the portal such as experiences and feedback its educators have received.
Vocabulary
Across your portal's subdomain, you can use custom vocabulary. For example, you may want to change learner to student.
Words that can be customized are:
company
department
coordinator
educator
employer
experience
learner
portal
Vocabulary customizations will automatically work in any context, including when words should be capitalized, singular or plural.
Language
The language of a portal determines the language in which users will view content when visiting the portal on its subdomain as well as be the default language for any content created within the portal.
Colors
You may want to set a primary and secondary color to represent your institution's branding. Setting custom colors will affect the accent colors users see across your portal on items such as buttons, navigational items, backgrounds, and more.
