  • Custom portal views for M-Files objects and classes, conditional UI elements, editing metadata through custom forms and more.

  • Seamless support for knowledge bases using Markdown document rendering.

  • Basic metrics and plotting of KPIs or similar aggregated data delivered by M-Files.

  • CtrlPortals is accessible both from the M-Files desktop client and M-Files Web.
