Who is a portal for?+
A client, a sponsor, a board member or a venue contact who needs to see part of the program and say yes to it. Anyone with the link can open it; nobody needs a Pholeo login.
Can the client see our costs?+
Only if you publish them. Pricing, budget lines and internal notes are hidden by default and are stripped from the page, not hidden with a style.
What does approval look like?+
An Approve button on the document. The approval is recorded on the record with the time and the name. Comments and replies form a thread on the same page, and the planner answers from inside Pholeo.
What happens when the program changes after I send the link?+
The portal is a view of the record, so it shows the current version. If you need a snapshot, publish a new portal and revoke the old link.
Can I recall a link?+
Yes. Revoke it and the page answers as not found, the same as a link that never existed. Publish again to issue a fresh one.
Does this replace the client deck?+
For the approval step, usually. Agencies still build the beautiful deck for the pitch; the portal is the working document that stays current between the pitch and the show.
