How PortalTable works

PortalTable is where your client work lives — and it turns that work into a branded portal each client logs in to. Your workspace holds clients, projects, approvals, files, and invoices; clients get clean, scoped software with your name on it.

The mental model

There are two sides. Your workspace holds the data — clients, projects, approvals, files, invoices, updates. Each client portal renders a scoped slice of that workspace as a finished app — under your brand, on your own subdomain.

Your workspace

Clients, projects, tasks, approvals, files, and invoices — everything your studio delivers, in one place.

Scoped access

Every read is scoped to one client by their access grant, and the database enforces the same ownership. Nothing internal leaks into a portal.

Client portal

A branded web app per client. Blocks like Projects and Approvals turn your work into an experience clients understand.

One source of truth

Your workspace is the single source of truth. Approvals, client updates, and invoice status all land in the same place your team already works — nothing to sync, nothing to reconcile.

The agency console

Everything you manage lives in the console — the admin side only your team sees. The left rail splits into Workspace (Overview, Clients, Projects, Approvals) and Delivery (Files, Invoices, Messages), with portal settings below.

If you're brand new, start with Build a client portal. A new workspace opens empty on purpose — everything you see in it is yours, from the first client you add.

Terms you'll see

Workspace: Your PortalTable workspace — clients, projects, and everything you deliver. One workspace can power many client portals.
Portal: A branded app for one client. Always free for unlimited client users.
Block: A feature module inside a portal — Projects, Approvals, Files, Invoices, Messages.
Scope: The rule that filters your workspace down to a single client's records — applied to every query the portal makes.
Client user: A person on the client side who signs in to a portal. Never billed.
