After completing the installation process and navigating to your Mividas Meeting Portal installation via your web browser you will be met by the Mividas Meeting Portal onboarding wizard.
Choose password
Here you may enter a password for the fall back user ”mividas_fallback”. Recommendation is to set a password so you always have a fall back user for recovering the platform. You may skip this step, but will then have to use one of your LDAP users for future access.
Settings
The last step in the onboarding wizard allows you to upload a logo, choose a light colour theme and some support texts that will be shown to users in the Mividas Meeting Portal front end. If you don’t want users to schedule recording of meetings from the Microsoft Outlook add-in (separate license), please choose “Do not show recording options”.
More comprehensive branding support will be available by navigating to “Theme settings” well inside Mividas Meeting Portal. Here, for example, you can set colors on buttons and icons to make Mivida’s Meeting Portal follow your organization’s graphic profile.
All done!
After the configuration, you may log in to the Portal front end. If you have a LDAP server or SSO configured, you may use any user from e.g. an Microsoft Active Directory. You can also use the mividas_fallback user and the password you entered earlier in the onboarding wizard.
You can update your user information with an e-mail address if none is configured from e.g. Microsoft Active Directory. This e-mail will be used as a sender address as you invite meeting participants.
Backend admin
You may change the Mividas Portal front end by adding “/admin” after the URL, e.g. “https://portal.yourdomain.com/admin”
This opens the backend admin interface for the Mividas Portal end user web page. You can add administrators and regular users without having to use e.g. LDAP. This is typically used for admins and evaluation processes. You can organize users in groups.
You can add meetings in the “Book” section, great for testing and troubleshooting as you do not need to be logged in to the front end as a regular user.
The “Flat blocks” section is an editor for some of the text fields in the user interface.
The “Self registrations” is used if you want users to create their own portal user accounts. They need to use an e-mail address from a trusted domain to self register.
