[Legacy Article] Understanding Your Portal Homepage

Note: Legacy Feature

This article covers the Legacy Homepage experience. We have launched a newer, more dynamic Homepage experience with enhanced flexibility.

To learn about the latest features, see: How to Create Your Portal Homepage.
For a guided walkthrough, visit the Bynder Academy Tutorial.

Summary

The homepage is the central landing page of your portal. This article explains how the Legacy Homepage is structured and managed.

Who?

All users have access to the portal's homepage. Bynder Admins can restrict this in permission profiles. Users with the Manage news and Manage quick links permissions can manage the homepage. Some features need to be enabled by Customer Support, these are denoted below.

Why?

In the homepage users can find a slider, navigation tiles, news items, quick links, and other widgets. Use news item widgets like sliders, navigation tiles, featured news, and quick links to drive end users to the assets they need.

Understanding

Alternative Landing Page

After a successful login, all users are redirected to the portal's homepage by default. If the homepage is disabled for your portal, the default landing page will be the Asset Bank overview page.

This feature/solution requires Customer Support to enable, but then individual permissions can be done by the Bynder Admin.

Welcome Text

You can use the welcome text on the homepage of your portal to communicate with your users. Various headings can be used, and links can be added.

Menu Links

The portal menu plays an essential role in your portal's navigation structure. Menu links give access to the main sections of the portal, such as the Asset Bank, Asset Workflow, and CX For User Community. Menu links can also link to custom pages and external websites.

Navigation Tiles

Navigation tiles can quickly link your users to a specific destination. You can refer to a specific selection of assets in the Asset Bank, a specific collection, or a page on the CX For User Community external website. Users can also select an image for your navigation tile so that users can quickly understand what it is about.

Note: The navigation tile image dimensions are 278px width & 180px height. The video dimensions are 8192 x 8192.

Quick Links

Quick Links on your homepage can give you easy access to certain sets of assets in the asset bank using a direct link URL. They can also be used to link external web pages that you use frequently.

Available Widgets

Bynder Express

Add Bynder Express to your portal's homepage so that users can share their files.

Asset Workflow

You can add widgets that inform users about activities, tasks, inactive jobs, and jobs that need their attention. The display is arranged in the following way: past deadlines, approaching deadlines (soonest to furthest), and no deadlines.

Recently Added Media

The recently added media widget allows users to see recent media on the homepage.

Latest News

The latest news widget is used to display the portal's three most recently published news portals. Clicking on a news item in the widget will always direct you to the news article page. A news article page features one specific news item published in the portal.

Clicking More News… under the featured articles in the latest news widget will direct you to your portal's news overview page, where users can find all published news articles.

Slider

You can use the slider to highlight specific news articles on the homepage and directly link to internal or external pages. The slider automatically goes from one slide to another. You can also hover over the slider with the arrow buttons to browse the available slides.

Note: The slider image dimensions are 1184px width & 320px height.

Restricting Homepage Access

By default, all users have access to the portal's homepage. If desired, you can restrict specific permission profiles from accessing the dashboard.

Navigate to Portal.
Go to Settings > Users & rights > Permission Management.
Select the permission profile(s) that shouldn't be able to access the homepage in the left sidebar.
In the Homepage section, enable the Restrict access to the dashboard permission for the selected permission profiles.
Click Save to save the changes.
