Portal Texts

You can edit what staff read on the setup portal. The texts are stored per language and per device: you edit the texts of whichever language row you opened.

Where is this section? Captive Portal → Portal Language Settings, then click a language in the list. On the language page you get a collapsible section headed Staff Wi-Fi Texts.

The badge next to the heading shows how many texts are customised for this device in that language. No badge means the language is running entirely on the ready-made texts.

1. Text groups

Login form — the welcome text, username and password labels, the sign-in and back buttons.
Status and error messages — “please wait”, “installing”, empty or wrong username, timeout, user type not eligible, no staff record.
Setup result — the screen after the file is produced: download button, certificate password and the time note.
Android steps — six steps plus the Identity and Domain field labels.
Windows steps — six steps.

2. What leaving a field empty means

The grey hint inside each field is the ready-made text for that language. Leave the field empty and staff see that text. You do not have to fill in everything — write only what you want to say differently. Clear a field later and it returns to the ready-made text.

Field labels are shown in the panel's own language, so you can tell what you are filling in even when the language you are editing is another one.

3. Saving

The section has its own Save button, separate from the captive portal form. Saving staff texts does not touch the captive settings, and the other way round. You get Texts saved. when it succeeds.

Each field holds up to 1000 characters.

4. Things to watch

Do not hard-code a server name. The portal already produces the Identity and Domain values and shows them on screen; a value typed into the text by hand may be wrong.
Keep the step numbering intact. The Android and Windows steps are read in order.
Follow your organisation's language. Edit the row for whichever language most of your staff use first; the rest keep running on the ready-made texts.
If the section is not there, either you do not have administrator rights, or the feature is not enabled on your device, or the language row you opened belongs to a different device.
