The Operations Portal is used to monitor and manage all Flows and Buffers in a Solution to ensure that they operate smoothly and that any exceptions and anomalies can be handled efficiently and effectively. The Operations Portal also has the added ability to execute flows and investigate any anomalies that may occur with any flow.
A typical example of real-life usage would be monitoring and ensuring that all flows and integrations, like automatic synchronizations, data updates, financial data updates, etc., are working. Any errors or malfunctions, for whatever reason, can be checked, tested, corrected, and retested on the fly.
In this article, each Ops Portal section will be discussed in detail, covering each selection, setting, and option.
This article provides guidance on the following:
Creating a new Portal
To create an Operations Views, follow the following steps:
Click the three menu dots (⋮) adjacent to Operations View (1).

Once a new operations portal is created, a new portal user interface is opened and is comprised of three tabs; the Info, Users, and View tabs.
Info Tab
The Info tab displays the basic title and description of the portal as shown in the image below.
V2 checkbox – Enable this ops view only for the V2 portal which is our DataFix solution.

Users Tab
The Users tab is used to select Synatic users and assign them to use the desired view in the Ops Portal.
