User portals support users of applications as they create, update, and resolve work items; and managers as they monitor work activity and help workers resolve issues. User portals may be customized to reflect the terminology, layout, and needs appropriate to each user community.
The recommended portal type is the composite portal.
If your application is appropriately designed and tested, your application users can use browsers other than Internet Explorer.
Similarly, if your requirements include making the forms and pages of your application accessible, Pega Platform includes facilities that can aid in achieving this goal.
Pega Platform composite applications are Pega Platform applications created with the Pega Web Mashup. You can embed a Pega Platform composite application as a gadget in a web page of a company intranet, extranet, or web site, and users can access it there rather than through a user portal.
