Universal Portal Guided Tour: Self-Service Automation Made Easy

A complete walkthrough of the Stonebranch Universal Portal — the self-service interface that puts automation in the hands of every team, not just IT.

Not every person who needs to run, monitor, or troubleshoot an automated task is an IT professional. Universal Portal is built for that reality.

This guided tour walks through the full Universal Portal interface — the self-service layer of Stonebranch Universal Automation Center designed for business users, operations teams, and anyone who needs visibility into automated workflows without touching the UAC controller directly. Login is via single sign-on with one click. From there, the task board gives an immediate view of all running, waiting, completed, and failed tasks, filterable by time horizon: last 4 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days.

The tour covers task filtering by status, task type, and business service, column customization, inline output retrieval, task reruns, and full task detail views including configuration, upstream dependencies, and logs. The responsive design adjusts automatically across desktop and mobile, and personal settings let users switch language, set display preferences, and enable calm mode for reduced color saturation.

Everything in this portal runs on the same server as Universal Controller. No additional installation required.
