1.1 Homepage Sections<\/h3>\n

The homepage Section typically refers to a designated area or segment within the homepage layout. This area may contain specific information, tiles, or content related to a particular category, function, or task under a categorization label as displayed in Fig. (1). This is very helpful in generalizing the purpose of the contents with the Homepage as per specific section grouping.<\/p>\n

1.2 Creating Sections<\/h3>\n

Navigation:<\/strong> Peopletools -> Portal -> Structure and content -> Fluid Structure &contents -> Fluid Homepages<\/p>\n

The Name and Label of the Content Ref has to be entered followed by the other configuration details as shown in Fig. (2).<\/p>\n

When the Target field is selected to \u2018Fluid Homepage\u2019<\/strong>, a new Tab appears \u2013 \u2018Section assignment\u2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The behaviour type must be selected other than \u2018Optional\u2019<\/strong> for all the tiles that are published within the \u2018Tile content Tab<\/strong>\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Section Assignments tab allows the administrator to add the section name and section label. The Personalization check box is checked initially by default to disable the personalization of the section to the Users.<\/p>\n

The Tile grid allows the administrator to add the Tile from the Look-up. The behaviour and the order of the tiles can also be modified here. The Unassigned tile number and the Total tile number are also displayed as shown in Fig. (4) and they are displayed within the section accordingly in the Homepage.<\/p>\n

The Import section is another way of adding the section to the Homepage. When the Import section button shown in Fig. (5) is clicked, the system copies the pre-defined section to the homepage which is stored in the Fluid section template folder. To achieve this the Usage type is to be selected as a Section template in the Content Ref page as shown in Fig. (6)<\/p>\n
