Managing and publishing the Homepage

This article is intended for managers of the homepage

Updated over a week ago

Summary of the article:

To become a homepage manager, you must be a member or an administrator of the platform. Guest users cannot be designated managers.

Once designated manager, the member can access a new tab from the Administration menu. A new Home icon also appears in the left sidebar.

Once the Homepage is activated by an administrator, it is only accessible to managers until they choose to make it visible.

NB: an administrator is not designated manager of the homepage by default. If he wants to manage the module, he needs to designate himself as manager.


Creating a homepage

Depending on what your communication objectives are, you can create one homepage or more.

To do so:

  • simply click on + Add a page from the Administration

  • or, from the Home icon, select the + tab

The objective here is to share the right information to the right people. In order to do so, you can create a page for each internal department or by location, for example.

When creating a page, a window opens to help you define:

  • the name of the new page,

  • who will be able to see the page,

  • the status of the page (Draft or Published).

You can display the page to:

1/ everyone, i.e. administrators, members and guests.

2/ all members, i.e. to administrators and non-guest members

3/ selected users of your choice and/or to groups of users

NB: homepage managers can control all the pages that have been created.


Inserting, editing, deleting row on a home page

Once your page has been created, you can define the layout of the content and information you wish to share by selecting a row format from those displayed.

1/ Inserting a row

To begin simply, create your first row of content by selecting + and choosing a row model among the 6 listed.

You can then add row directly by clicking on the red + associated with the location of your choice, above or below the existing row(s).

NB: there is no limit to the number of rows you can add.

2/ Modifying the format of a row

If the row format you have chosen does not suit you, you can modify it at any time by clicking on Edit row.

A window will then open, allowing you to choose a new format. The existing content will automatically adapt to the new chosen format.

3/ Deleting a row

You can also delete a row entirely. Be careful, the content present in the row you want to delete will also be permanently deleted.

To delete a row, click on the trash can next to Edit row.


Adding, modifying, publishing and deleting modules

Only Homepage managers are allowed to add, modify, publish and delete contents shared on the Homepage.

You have created your page and chosen your first row? You can now add your first content modules.

1/ Publishing a Module

After creating a homepage and defining a content row, you can choose in the column(s) of your row the module you want to publish.

You can add modules before or after the existing ones without creating new rows. The format of the row will remain the same and will extend over the page.

The carousel must always be placed in the first position on the row. You will not be able to add a module above a carousel independently of the row. You can however add a new row with new elements above it.

Different modules are proposed and can be used:

  • an Articles module to publish information,

  • a Referent module to highlight contact points,

  • an Events module to highlight important events. ℹ️ It will soon be possible to bring up the events of your shared agenda on a homepage.

  • A Carousel module that allows you to condense different information in one section. ℹ️ Limit of one carousel per page.

2/ Modifying or deleting a Module

You can edit or delete a Module by selecting the gear icon associated with the Module.

3/ Moving a Module

You can move the modules you have created if their positioning does not suit you or if you wish to highlight a module.

To do this, click on the gear icon of the module you wish to move and click on Move.

You will enter the editing mode, which will allow you to choose the new location of the module to be moved. You are not limited to the parent row of the module. You can move it to the other rows created.

NB: a module can only be moved within the page in which it was created.

If you do not wish to move the module, you can quit the editing mode by clicking on the Exit edition mode button.
