The Advanced Settings tab allows you to further configure the functions available within your shop's Client Portal. In this article, we'll walk through each setting and describe how it affects the usability of the Client Portal.
To access the Advanced Settings section of the Client Portal, navigate to Settings Company Client Portal Advanced Settings Tab. You will be presented with a screen that looks like this:
General Settings
- Hide Breadcrumb - "Breadcrumb" is a term used for the secondary navigation on a web page that allows the user to easily navigate to a page higher up in the hierarchy. You would only want to hide breadcrumb navigation if you don't want your users to access the Dashboard from the Payment, Measurement, Event, or Lookbook pages. This feature essentially allows you to have a standalone Payment and/or Measurements page without giving your clients access to the rest of the Portal.
