Scenario

Sweet Life stakeholders have decided to create different Portals so that the users of their Tell Us More application only have access to the information that is relevant to their specific Tasks. An important aspect of developing these Portals is defining the landing pages that include the data that is important to each Portal's user.

In this challenge, you build out two Portals, including landing pages, for the Tell Us More application. Additionally, you have been tasked with creating a custom Dashboard to display previously created Insights, so that Sweet Life's back-office workers can easily compare the number of Cases being created every day with the number of Cases being resolved.

The following table provides the credentials you need to complete the challenge:

Role User name Password
System Architect Author@SL pega123!
