Variant
Select the module shape from the drop-down menu. For example, it can be Circular, rounded, or square. Note that “square” can also be a rectangle; it just means it has hard corners instead of rounded corners.
Text align
Align the titles of each slide (not the module title). We recommend using Left for most content but Center for speakers (because they are circular).
Item width and height
Input 355 (width) x 200 (height) for a standard 16:9 ratio image. This corresponds to the image size (800 x 450) that we request from clients for most rectangular images
Item spacing
10 is the standard recommended spacing.
Item title
Check this box to see the title of the content beneath the slide.
Item description
Check this box to show the content’s preview text beneath the slide.
Show Progress
For courses only, check this box to show the progress indicator in the corner of the slide.
Setting up tabs
To begin, locate the Tabs - Data Filtering section.
Use the + icon to add new tabs.
The content you pull and organize will be shown within a grid.
If you create multiple tabs, the Page will display each as individual tabs above the Grid for easy access.
You can reorder tabs by dragging and dropping them.
The tabs are aligned from left to right on the page, with the top tab being the first, leftmost tab.
If only one tab is created, it will represent the entire page, and you will see no tabs.
Configuring tab settings
Updating the Tabs settings.
Once you've created a tab, select it to adjust its settings.
Tab Label: This is the name visible to users if multiple tabs are created.
Content-Type: options available include Speaker, Course, Group, Library and Session. Your selection impacts the filtering and sorting options available.
The Tab Settings window determines how the page/tab is pre-filtered and sorted, controlling how information appears when a user lands on the tab. Users can filter or sort the information further, but it will revert to the settings configured here upon leaving and returning.
Any table section highlighted in yellow indicates that the grid options for that content type are either unavailable or not functioning. Check back later for updates.
