The Client Portal Administration page is divided into six tabs. All six tabs are visible at all times, however you can only view the content of one tab at a time; clicking the heading of the tab you want to access will bring up that tab’s information. The available tabs are Registration Token Management, Password Reset Token Management, User Management, Case Statuses, Look & Feel and Feature Management. There is also a date range field (with an Apply button), which filters the results in the active tab based on the date an action was taken.

Registration Token Management
Invitations to clients for accessing the Client Portal, including the generation of tokens, are accomplished in this tab.
...
Generate New Token button: Used to generate a token, which allows a client access to the Client Portal. Select the client to whom you would like to send an invitation. The contact must have their SSN number listed on their contact card, as the last 4 digits are required to complete their registration.
...
Registration Email: The client's email address, taken from their contact card. The registration invitation will be sent to this address.
Registration Token: The registration token automatically created for this. The token is automatically created by SmartAdvocate and cannot be edited.
Token Issued: The date this client's registration token was issued.
Token Used: The date this client's registration token was used to register for the client portal.
Name: The client's name.
User Name: The client's user name for access to the Client Portal (usually the client's email address).
#: The Action column. Until a client activates his or her token by clicking the link in the invitation email they receive, a Delete button will be available to delete the token and remove that client's access to the Client Portal. Once the token has been activated, the token can no longer be deleted and this column is empty.
Password Reset Token Management
In the event a client has forgotten his or her password for the Client Portal, a new token must be issued to that client. The process is identical to creating an original Registration Token, except the email sent to the client is for a password reset, rather than an invitation.

The Case Status feature is more-or-less a timeline that shows the progression of the client's case. Although similar to the "regular" SmartAdvocate Case Statuses that are adjusted by the staff as the case moves forward, the status "Timeline" visible to the client in the Client Portal is different. Case Status in the Client Portal MUST be configured independently. Although you can configure the Case Timeline in Client Portal to correspond with the regular Case Statuses, it is generally more advisable to create "Statuses" for the Timeline that may be somewhat broader and more meaningful to the client. So, for example, we suggest you create Timeline Statuses such as "Initial Investigation," "Client Still Treating," "Submitted Insurance Demand," "Initial Court Conference Held," "Case Scheduled for Trial," etc. Furthermore, you generally do not need to create a corresponding "Timeline" status for the Client Portal for every "regular" status in SmartAdvocate. Multiple SmartAdvocate statuses can be combined and assigned to a single Client Portal status.
