i am trying to establish the patient portal. Do I need a website so that i can put the website URL into the patient portal address, or can I use the external URL for my office, which then would require tunneling into the correct computer.
If you just enable the portal in the configuration it will present everything you require for your patients to explore. It works very well. If you want to add a link to a website you can do that. It’s really really simple the patient portal. Just enable it!

And feel free to come back here with any questions you may come up with.

To be frank with you after updating to 7.0.3 (4) i am having difficulties logging into the portal
