This article provides instructions for managing home page and other custom page content. For instructions on how to add additional custom pages to your portal, check out: Custom Page Configuration. 


Since the home page is the first page Users see upon logging into the portal, you'll want it to be organized, visually appealing and frequently updated with new content. Use this page to communicate key program details, recently added marketing content and incentives/promotions. Include call to actions to direct Users to specific areas in the portal to register Deals or submit MDF requests. You can also use Groups to create multiple versions of the page, so that Users only see content that is relevant to the Group(s) they are assigned to. Click here for more tips and best practices for designing your home page.


To begin configuring the content on a custom page, click the "Actions" button in the upper right-hand corner of the page and select "Page Settings." 

Home Page - Actions Menu


The Page Settings allow you to do the following: 

  • Rename the title of the page
  • Change the icon used to indicate the page in the left navigation menu 
  • Show/hide the page title, description and breadcrumbs 
  • Remove margins around content (Widgets). Learn more about this topic here.

Segmenting Content 


Use the Widgets listed below to segment content and messaging on the page for different user experiences. For example, you can create different welcome messages for your Groups, so that when Users view the page, they only see the message that applies to them.

The four radio buttons listed below give you the ability to set permissions for each message:


  • Everyone: The message will be visible to all Users. 
  • Selected Groups: Only Users in the selected Groups will see the message. 
  • Smart Permissions: Only Users who match the rules you specify will see the message. 
  • No One: Only Admin Users and Internal Users with "Widget Content Administration" will see the message.
