Planning customized community pages
There are several locations in Jive where you can customize a page with images and information, by using either tiles or widgets as building blocks.
You can customize pages in the following locations:
- The News page of the entire community. For more information, see Customizing News page.
- The Home page of the entire community, if it is enabled. For more information, see Designing Home page of your community.
- The Your View page, if it is enabled in your community. For more information, see Disabling or enabling Your View feature.
- The landing page of a place: an Activity page or an Overview
page (place widgets must be enabled). For more information, see
Designing activity and custom pages for places and Designing Overview pages for places.Important: We do not recommend that you use widgets and widgetized Overview pages in your community. For more information, see Understanding pages in places.
- A custom page added to a place if Pages are enabled in your community and the Overview page has been disabled for the place. For more information, see Adding custom pages to places.
Tiles and widgets like content blocks help you lay out certain pages in your community. Tiles are the default way to do this, but if you have widgets enabled, you can choose them instead. Use the following table to determine which model is available for you to use. For more information, see Using tiles and Adding Overview page.
The following table shows where you can use tiles, and where you can use widgets.
