Main pages are custom pages that you can add to the Portal. Visible in the Portal's left menu, alongside Devices and Users.
You can add up to 3 main pages to the Portal, but you can prepare as many main pages as desired, and add and remove components as you see fit. You can even create your own custom components and manage access to the pages you create for maximal versatility. This way, the users in your company will only see the information that is relevant to them.
