Portal Wrappers are the core of the ManagementStudio portal technology. They provide a way to offer constant visual, navigation and authentication to Users as they move between Dashboards, Reports, Surveys, Landing Pages etc. They consist of different blocks and a main content area (green in the image) for displaying information to the User.
Every page (Report, Landing, Dashboard, etc) must have a wapper before it can be viewed in a browser.
Default Wrappers
ManagementStudio creates two default wappers called 'MS-Default-NoAuthWrapper' and 'MS-Default-AuthWrapper'. These wrappers are automatically applied to pages that don't have a wrapper set.
MS-Default-NoAuthWrapper
Has no authentication set, this is the default for the Self-Schedule, Survey & Test Sign-Off pages
MS-Default-NoWrapper
Has basic authentication set where a User must use their ManagementStudio User/Pass to view the page
This is the default for Dashboards, Portal Pages & Dataming Reports
These default wrappers can be updated and their behaviour changed. However, they can not be deleted or renamed. Doing so will result in ManagementStudio recreating new default wrappers.
Blocks
Banner Block
Displays at the top of the page are usually used for a project title and image.
Nav Block
Displays under the Banner block and provides buttons for the user to navigate to other pages in the Portal
Authentication
Restrict access to any page that uses this wrapper. See the article on Portal Authentication for an in-depth explication on how to protect your portal.
Custom CSS / JS Blocks
These allow you to inject CSS or Javascript into any page that uses this wrapper. They are useful for providing a constant style to your Portal.
Footer Block
Displays at the bottom of the page.
