About the Portal Configurator user interface

The Portal Configurator UI shows sections for customizing a selected product or service. A quick navigation bar is provided on the left side of the page and is derived on-the-fly, based on the number of sections available in the current configuration. It contains only those sections that are already rendered on the page. The navigation index is rebuilt each time the current collection is refreshed. A pointer shows portal users where they are in the collection, and they can click another section to quickly move to that part of the configuration.

If descriptive information is available for a component, a Help Me Choose link is provided at the top of each component section. A preview of the item is provided, as well as links for viewing the selection summary and price summary.
