Add Web Content to Your Portal Site and Set the Layout

Before you start, first download the following images that you will add to your page. To download them, right-click the links and choose Save link as and save them on your computer.

• Header_01.jpg

• Header_02.jpg

• We're_Local.png

• We're_experienced.png

• We're_innovative.png

• Explore_JobCore_Services.jpg

• View_Available_Jobs.jpg

1. Click the JobCore page from the Pages panel in the Pages editor.

2. Click the Header section of the page – this is the section with Menu Item 1, 2, 3.

   As you click in the page section, editing icons become visible. Since the page template that you selected to create this page contains a menu widget that you don’t need for this specific site design, you are going to delete it by simply clicking the Delete icon.

   

3. Click Delete on the confirmation dialog.

4. Click the Header section again and then click the + icon on the right to open the widget gallery.

   

5. Click the Headline Carousel widget from the Web Content Widgets: Carousel category.

   You can also locate this widget in the Add Widgets dialog box, by typing the name of the widget (in this case Headline Carousel), in the search box and clicking the search icon.

   

6. Section 1 is the second section in this page that has no widgets in it. Click in this section as seen in the image.

   

7. Add the following widgets.

   Note: A section can contain multiple widgets. When you click on a widget, the widget editing icons appear at the top left of the widget, and the section editing icons appear at the top right of the section.

   Don’t worry about the content yet. You’ll edit this later. Just keep clicking the + icon to add the widgets. You can also use the Search feature to find the widgets that you want.

   • Header with Titles from the Web Content Widgets: Basic category.

   • Aligned Story Card from the Web Content Widgets: Cards category.

8. Scroll down and click in Section 2 of the page and add these widgets:

   • Header with Titles from the Web Content Widgets: Basic category.

   • Centered Story Card from the Web Content Widgets: Cards category.

9. Click in Section 3 of the page and add these widgets:

   • Image from the Web Content Widgets: Basic category.

   • Small Icon Links Card from the Web Content Widgets: Cards category.

You have a page full of widgets that still have their default content. So now let’s replace the default content with more meaningful content.

1. Click the Headline Carousel widget from the Header section to expose the widget and section editing icons.

2. Click Edit content (the pencil icon in the top left) to edit the content of this widget.

   

3. In the left panel, you can see that this widget includes 3 content items (each of which you can edit). Since this is a carousel widget, each content item is a slide in the carousel and each slide includes an image, a title, and a subtitle as content.

   Note: we will click Save at the end of the editing.

4. Click the first content item and edit it as follows:

   Field	Value
   Image	Replace with: Header_01.jpg (one of the resource files you downloaded in step 1 above)
   Title	Welcome to JobCore
   Content	Number one global recruiting and staffing company

   

5. Click the second content item and edit as follows:

   Field	Value
   Image	Header_02.jpg
   Title	Let us help YOU!
   Content	We are focused on helping you find the right candidates faster. We guarantee higher response rates with long term employer-employee relationships. Let us help you find your next successful employee.

6. The carousel that we want for our site only has 2 slides, so you can delete the third content item. Click the third content item and then click the minus sign at the bottom of the screen to delete it.

   

7. Click Save.

8. You’re now going to edit the content in the next section of the page. In Section 1 click in the Header with Titles widget to expose the editing icons.

9. Click Edit content (pencil icon) and edit the widget as follows:

   Field	Value
   Title	Why JobCore?
   Subtitle	We connect people with what they do best

   Click Save.

10. Still in Section 1, click the Aligned Story Card widget and edit as follows:

    Section 3 should look like this:

    

You’ve replaced all the default content in the widgets with your own. Let’s arrange the widgets on the page.

In this step, you’ll arrange the widgets in the different sections of the page and configure the visual settings of the sections (like minimum height).

1. Click in Section 1 or on any widget in this section, to expose the editing icons for this section.

2. Click the Edit section settings icon on the right.

   

3. Edit the settings for Section 1 as follows:

   • Check that the order of the widgets are according to how you want them to appear on your page. If they’re not, simply hover over the grip control next to the widget name and drag it to the right place.

     

   • In the Layout tab, select the Column layout. We are choosing this layout option because we want our widgets to be arranged one under the other and we want each widget to take up the whole width of the screen.

     

   • In the Dimensions tab, edit the settings as follows:

     Dimensions	Value
     Margins	5 px
     Content Width	Full
     Minimum Height	Default

     Click Save.

     

4. Click in page Section 2 to highlight the Edit sections icon on the right and edit the settings as follows:

   • Check that the order of the widgets are according to how you want them to appear on your page.

   • In the Layout tab, select the Column layout.

   • In the Dimensions tab, edit the settings as follows:

   Dimentions	Value
   Margins	5 px
   Content Width	Full
   Minimum Height	Default

   Click Save.

5. Click in page Section 3 to highlight the Edit sections icon on the right and edit the settings as follows:

   • Check that the order of the widgets are according to how you want them to appear on your page.

   • In the Layouts tab, select Custom. We are choosing this layout option so that we can determine how much of the screen each widget will take up. For our site we want to arrange the widgets as follows:

     Under the desktop icon, enter ¼ for the Image widget and ¾ for the Small Icon Links Card. This means that the Image widget will take up one quarter of the width of the screen and the Small Icon Links Card widget will take up the rest.

     

   • In the Dimensions tab, change the settings as follows:

   Dimensions	Value
   Margins	100 px
   Content Width	1366 px
   Minimum Height	Default

Click Save.

You’ve now designed your Portal page by arranging the widgets in their page sections. In the next step you’ll change the dimensions of the actual widget so that they are visually aligned and displayed effectively on your page.

In this step, you are going to change the widget settings of the following widgets:

Note that you can also change how you want your widget displayed – as a card, list, grid, or carousel.

1. Click the Aligned Story Card widget in Section 1.

2. Click Settings (cog icon) at the top of the section.

   

3. Change the dimensions as follows and then click Save.

   Dimension	Value
   Item Height	27 rem
   Item Width	18 rem
   Margins	4 rem
   Alignment	Center

   

4. Click the Centered Story Card widget in Section 2 and then click Settings (cog icon). Change the dimensions as follows and then click Save.

   Field Name	Value
   Item Height	30 rem
   Item Width	20 rem
   Margins	4 rem
   Alignment	Center

5. Click the Small Icons Link Card in Section 3 and then click Settings (cog icon). Change the dimensions as follows and then click Save.

   Dimension	Value
   Item Height	20 rem
   Item Width	275 px
   Margins	0 rem
   Alignment	Center

Now that your page is ready, you may want to take a look at how your users will see the site so far. Click the Go to site icon at the top right of the screen.

And this is what you’ll see:

Congratulations! You’ve created a very attractive Home page. In our next tutorial, we’re going to add a URL app to our Launchpad page.
