Introduction

A Portal in Zoho Backstage serves as your centralized hub for organizing and managing all event-related activities. It acts as a repository for tracking upcoming, ongoing, and past events. Each portal can be customized with a unique name and subdomain, which together form your portal’s web address. Once created, the portal becomes the foundation for all operations on the Zoho Backstage platform.
