Create Info Item

How do I create new Info Item?

Overview
Info items appear on the left side of your home page. They are used to contain special items like speaker list, schedule, cost information, and so forth. You can use these info items to eliminate the need for a separate event Web page. You can put pretty much anything you need in the info listing including links that open documents, other Websites and much more.

Needed Privileges
To edit and create info items you need to be logged in as an administrator with site setup privileges.

New Item
To create a NEW info item, go to Admin: Setup -> Customize. From the Customize screen, in the first section labeled "Home Page Customization," click on the Left Info Item. It will list all of your existing items. Near the top of the blue heading bar, there is a button that says, "Add" which you click to create a new item.

On the screen that appears, you enter in your basic information. The Menu Title is what appears in the left menu. The Article Title is what appears as the title on the right side when that item is clicked. The Content is where you put your content for the article.
