# Portal (classic)

{% hint style="info" %}
Nexthink Portal is a server-side component initially designed for on-premises installations. It is still used by parts of the web interface but is gradually being phased out and replaced by cloud-native technology.
{% endhint %}

Nexthink Portal is the reporting tool, collaboration platform and centralized management platform of the Nexthink End-User IT analytics platform. A comprehensive set of dashboards are delivered out-of-the-box but it is possible in a matter of minutes to construct custom dashboards, valuable for anyone in the organization. Personalized metrics are simple to define as drag-and-drop widgets and can be quickly published and shared. Nexthink Portal front-end is a web application running inside a browser.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/references/references-classic/glossary-classic/portal-classic.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
