Pioneer Portal – Customize A to Z index

Learn how to use and customize the Portal's A to Z index.

There are two A to Z lists provided by the Portal.

  • The Global A to Z contains all the links from the old campus website A to Z. The Global version displays by default when you are not logged into the Portal.
  • The second list is a Personal A to Z. This displays when you are signed into the Portal.

Building your Personal A to Z index

When you sign into the Portal the first time, your Personal A to Z will be empty.  You can build your Personal A to Z from scratch and add the links you want, or you can clone the Global A to Z, which copies that list into your Personal list. Follow the instructions below to customize your Personal A to Z

  1. Navigate to portal.uwplatt.edu
  2. Click on the A to Z button in the left navigation.
a. Select Sign In under "Sign in to customize your own A to Z."
b. Enter your UW-Platteville credentials.

3. Choose how you'd like to start: "Build your own" or "Jump start your Experience" (cloning the Global A to Z).

To clone the Global A to Z

1. Click Import Now. NOTE: Only click this button once! If you click it more than once, you will have multiple copies of the Global A to Z in your personal list. If this happens, you can delete all entries and start over.  Scroll down to "Clear/delete all items" below.
