Getting Started with Help Center Design and Dynamic Forms
Asked by Kathleen Walsh:

Hello!

I am a Jira novice working at building out a service portal. I'm supporting a SaaS company that wants to build out a distinct help center for each of the companies they work with as the integration for each company is different.

So far, I've been able to create projects for each client - but the help center content seems to be replicating across the Help Centers and I need to be able to limit it by users.

As a next step, I am trying to do the following:

* Create a flow that allows users to click a box like the below and then get to another page with a similar set of boxes to submit requests. Is this possible? I can't seem to get the "portals" - as I think they are called to show up the way I want and show up as a second layer

* I want to create dynamic forms that are conditional - so that you are fed different options based on how you respond - is that possible? I know how to create forms, but can't seem to figure out how to make them dynamic and conditional and I would like to make sure that I can make these forms specific to each client. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Currently you cannot have separate portals for your projects, currently you can only have one portal. There are apps in the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/) that allow you to create multiple portals and customize each of them. [Refined](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218481/refined-sites-for-jsm-theme-itsm-hr-help-service-desks?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) is one, and the other I know of is [Theme Extensions for JSM](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220300/theme-extension-for-jira-service-management?hosting=cloud&tab=overview).

body: What you can do in the default portal is to limit who have access to each project, so you can control access that way, but all your customers would come to the same portal.

body: Thank you! [@Mikael Sandberg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853579) - Do you have a preference between the two?


author: Mikael Sandberg
body: Not really, I know Refined has been around for a while and I used other apps from them in a previous life when I was on server/data center.

Welcome to the community. To supplement what [@Mikael Sandberg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853579) stated that he is correct that there is only one Portal UI for your JSM site as of right now.

I know that Atlassian is currently beta testing the feature allowing each site to have multiple portal UIs. However it is not available yet. In addition, I believe it is only available for Enterprise subscription plan at this point for the beta testing.

The other option is to restrict access of your different JSM projects. So when users access your Help Center portal, they can only see the project(s) that they are allow to see. You can do this by accessing Project Settings \>\> Customer Permissions UI for each of your projects.

In regards to FORMs design, you can take a look at this reference link on finding how to build in the conditional control of your FORMs elements -

Hope this also helps.
