The organization of the control panel is similar in Rhythm Portal 2021.10 and Rhythm Portal 21.09, with these exceptions:

  • To access the Rhythm Theme Upload form, click the Open Menu button. On the Control Panel tab, Rhythm Theme Upload is located in the System section.

Forms

The option to display pagination at the bottom of the form is deprecated. Pagination is displayed at the top of the form only.

The use of the file upload component is not currently supported. We recommend that you remove file upload components from your forms before Rhythm Portal 2021.10 is deployed in your region.
