The new homepage for reading cloud is fully customisable, allowing you to include or exclude the various features of the homepage. You can also specify the order in which they show on the homepage.
To access the customisation options, log into your library system as an administrator and at the top of the list of features, just below the search box, you will see the 'Edit Homepage' icon.
Click this and the 'Configure' settings will show on the right of the screen. Here you can customise the appearance of your homepage:
- To remove a feature (Section) from the homepage, click the bin icon on the section you wish to remove.
- To add a new section, click the 'Add Section' button and select the section to add from the list.
- To change the order of the different sections, click and hold the 'up and down' arrow icon and drag it to where you would like it.
- You will notice certain sections (Promotions) have options to be customised within them, click the cog icon to access it's specific settings and enable/disable as you wish.
You will see the homepage update live as you make these changes.
Be sure to click 'Save' when you are happy with your selection and the settings will be applied.
There is also the ability to add a 'Custom Section'. This can be used for any information you wish to post onto the homepage for everyone to see. Selecting this from the 'Add Section' button will present the creation window. Add a title and use the text editor to create the main body of the content. Once you are happy with it, select to add it to either the top or bottom and it will be added to the homepage. You can change the position in the same way as the other sections and the pencil icon will allow you to return to the creation window and edit it further.
