Create, add or delete a custom device page

Usability is one of the core principles of X4 Remote. This is why X4 Remote allows you to fully customise the pages that you and your users can see in the Portal app. You can add and remove components as you see fit. This way, the users in your company will only see the components that are relevant for them. You can even create your own custom components and manage access to the pages you create for maximal versatility.

When you create a new page, this will be a draft at first. This way you can develop the lay-out of your page thoroughly. When your design is finished, you can publish the draft.
