Setting up an account - Zoho Backstage

Create Portal

Overview

A Portal in Zoho Backstage is a dedicated area where all activities are organized and managed. It acts as a central repository for tracking ongoing, upcoming, and past projects. Users can personalize it by assigning a unique name and subdomain, which forms the web address for the portal. Once created, this portal becomes the foundation for all operational and administrative tasks on the platform. This guide outlines the steps to create and access a Zoho Backstage account, as well as the process of creating a portal.
