How to manage the main content section of the Home Page:

Using this tutorial we will show you how to add a component to your home page main content section.  For the tutorial we will add a Greeting with Image.  We will also show you how to make it the first component displayed.  As a pre-requisite you must have added your Greeting text and loaded your Greeting Image on the Home Page Manager page. 

  • From the Site Administration Menu select “Home Page”  option (4a).
  • From the Home Page Manager click Edit button for Main Content Selection as shown below:

  • From the Main Content Collection Manager select a component in Available Component tree list.  E.g. click on the plus sign for Greeting Image & Title. 

  • The tree list is expanded to display the available styles for the Greeting Image & Title component.  A single choice is listed, Style A. 
  • Click on Style A to highlight it.

  • The Available Record Set displays the single value Automated for the Greeting Image & Title component.  Automated indicates that it is not necessary to build a record set.  When Automated is listed under Available Record Set it is automatically highlighted.  Some components such as Custom Structured and Quick Jump require you to build your own record sets.  Custom Structured record sets are built using Mini Browser Builder.  Quick Jump record sets are built using Menu Builder; Quick Jump is one of the many menu types that can be built using PortalProdigy’s Menu Builder.  When the record set is not automated you are required to select a record set.  If none have been built you will need to use the Add New Record Set  option to create one. 

  • With both an Available Component Style and Available Record Set highlighted, click the right arrow button to add to the Selected Components list. 

  • The component is listed as a Selected Component.  Click on the GREETIMG:StyleA component to highlight it as shown below:

  • Now let’s make it the first component to be displayed in your Home Page main content section.  To do this, click on the up arrow  until the GREETIMG:StyleA component is the first item in the list.

  • Let’s save the changes.  Click the Save  button located at the bottom of the page.
  • After the pages refreshes click the Close  button located at the bottom of the page.  This will take you back to Home Page Manager.
  • The final step is to update the Home Page by saving the Home Page Collection.  Click the Save  button located at the bottom of the Home Page Manager page.
  •  You may view your changes by clicking the Preview  button located at the bottom of the Home Page Manager page.  This will open the Home Page in a new browser window.
  • You are finished!
