Creating a Mobile Community Home Page

Community managers can create a tile-based, mobile-compatible community home page for users accessing the community with a mobile device.

The Community Overview page for desktop users relies on widgets, which can't be viewed on a mobile device. You can now design a version tailored to mobile users. When accessing the community on a mobile device (and not using the iOS or Android native app) users can see a welcome message you provide as well as image-rich dynamic content delivered through up to 8 tiles. This view will also be available in the reduced-browser view when you access the community on a desktop browser.

The Place Templates Tile Reference includes more information about individual tiles. (Not all tiles are available for the mobile home page.)

To set up your mobile home page:

Under your name or avatar, click Manage > Mobile Home Page
By default, the page contains the following tiles, with no content defined:
- Carousel tile
- Ask a Question tile
- Key Content and Places tile
Click the Edit page link to configure these tiles or add different ones.
In the Welcome Message text box, type up to 500 characters of the message you want to display at the top of the mobile home page. Keep in mind this message will be displayed in a very compressed space, so keep it short!
Add or delete any tiles you want to add to the page, and configure them to contain the information you want by clicking the gear icon. You can use the arrows to move the widgets up and down.
Click Save.
If you want to preview the mobile page, just go to the community home page and resize your browser. When you've reduced the browser size enough, the mobile home page replaces the regular one.
