# Configure the Portal Polaris Header widget for your portal

Associate the Portal Polaris Header widget as your header for the selected theme on your portal.

## Before you begin

Role required: sp\_admin

## About this task

Unlike other widgets in the Configurable Portal widgets, the Portal Polaris Header widget can’t be dragged onto a page. Instead, you must configure it by associating the header menu with the selected theme for your portal.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Service Portal** > **Portal**.

2.  On the Service Portal page, search and select `Customer Support` in the Title column.

3.  On the Customer Support page, in the **Theme** field, select the Preview this record icon \(\[Omitted image "preview-record.png"\] Alt text: Preview this record\).

4.  Select **Open Record** on the Theme pop-up window.

5.  On the Portal Next Experience Theme page, in the **Header** field, select the Lookup using list icon \(\[Omitted image "lookup-list.jpg"\] Alt text: Look up list\).

    **Note:** If a message appears about the application scope, select **here** to be able to edit the record.

6.  On the Header \| Footers page, search and select **Portal Polaris Header**.

7.  Select **Update**.


## Result

The Portal Polaris Header is set as a header for the Portal Next Experience theme.
