Account-level managers (i.e., account administrators) can view portals and subportals within the Management Center, as well as adjust portal settings and assign representatives to each selected portal. All customer queries come through a subportal and are routed to representatives who are logged in to that subportal through the GoToAssist Corporate HelpAlert software.

Portals feature enables account-level managers to view portals and subportals, adjust portal settings and administer representatives assigned to each selected portal. Each portal automatically includes at least one subportal. If assigned to a subportal, representatives can use various HelpAlert software features within a support session, including file transfer, screen sharing, retrieval of diagnostic information, and many others (the features can be enabled on a per-portal basis).

Company-level managers are able to enable and disable functions on a per-representative or per-portal basis.The Portals page allows company administrators to enable functions on a per-portal basis (see Change Representative Settings for information about enabling settings on a per-representative basis).

1. Click Portals in the left-navigation and use the Arrow icons to find and select the desired subportal.

GoToAssist Corporate can be run either as an application on a remote machine or as a service. To run as a service, an additional piece is downloaded onto the remote machine, which gives the representative even more access to the computer. Running as a service provides the following benefits:

• Overrides User Account Controls (UAC)
• Allows the representative to log the end user off and log in using the representative's own credentials
• Allows the representative to reboot using SafeMode

Additional information on the benefits of running GoToAssist Corporate as a service is available at Benefits of Running as a Service.
