Creating Content Pages

How to:

You can create content pages for Dashboard that contain content blocks, and the ReportCaster, Report Library, Watch List, or Deferred Status user interfaces. Adding the ReportCaster, Report Library, Watch List, or Deferred Status interfaces to a content page is different than accessing them from banner hyperlinks, which open a new browser window when the hyperlink is clicked. Each interface appears in its own content page directly in the Dashboard.

Content pages appear as tabs that display the name of the content page across the top of the content area. Pages can be viewed by clicking the appropriate tab.

Using content pages enables you to:

Content pages are optional. If you have only one content page, tabs do not appear in the actual Dashboard view when you add content blocks.

Users can create as many content pages as they need and design the page layout. Administrators can also customize the color of content page tabs (background and text color). For details, see Selecting Content Layout.

Procedure: How to Create Content Pages

Note: When creating a content page, wait until all page items appear before using the buttons on the page. If an error occurs due to premature use of the buttons, refresh the page using your browser's Refresh button.

  1. Select the Personalize link in the banner, then select Content from the submenu that appears.

    The Content window opens.

  2. From the Content window, click:
    • Add Page to add a page that contains content blocks.
    • Add Library Page to add a page that contains the Report Library user interface. You can also add the Watch List interface after adding a library page.
    • Add Schedules Page to add a page that contains the ReportCaster user interface.
    • Add Deferred Status Page to add a page that contains the Deferred Status user interface.

    Note: You will not be able to view Library or Schedule pages if you do not have access to ReportCaster or the Report Library.

  3. Enter the tab name in the Page Description text box.
  4. Click Update.

    When a page is added, it is added as the last page. You can rearrange the order of the content pages using the Move Left, Move Right, or Set Default buttons. The Set Default button promotes the current page to the first page.
