You can probably see from the screen captures above how easy it will be to build customized sites using Xinet Portal. Something as simple as moving tags and inserting images can provide dramatic results. Customize Xinet Portal provides more details about easy customizing.

Each Xinet Portal template contains sets of tags. The table below shows the variable data tags used in the file_table_short.tmpl.html template:

{FILE_PAGE_ COUNT}	In multipage documents, indicates which page number out of the total is currently displayed in preview.
