The Site Publisher tool allows group owners/administrators to build custom homepages.
In Site Publisher, a WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) page designer, allows you to select the portal modules (e.g. Calendar, Tasks, etc.) you want the page to feature. Publisher makes it easy to insert images and create links; no HTML knowledge required (limited HTML is supported, and it can be inserted into various areas of your page).
If you’re building a page for employees of your organization, you can think of it as an intranet page. If you intend for clients, or other people outside your organization, to use the page, then you can think of it more as an extranet page.
In this section, you can find articles about specific Publisher features, as well as tips and tricks for designing simple-yet-powerful homepages that present your users with dashboard views of key information in your portal.
Publisher is located in the Groups section of your portal’s left navigation. Click Group Memberships and select the group that should land on the page you’re about to build. Once you’re taken into that group, scroll to the bottom of the Groups and click on Publisher.
At the top of the page you’re taken to, you’ll see Add Page, Site Tree, and Help. The Site Tree area will allow you to edit the properties of pages that have been created in that group. Pages can be marked as Published, set as Homepage, and shown in (or omitted from) system-generated messages.
If you get an error message about not having permissions, or if the group’s administrator hasn’t enabled the Publisher feature, contact the group owner (creator) and/or administrator. Even if you are a Level 1 administrator, or even logged in as postmaster, you won’t automatically have rights to make a Publisher page, or otherwise administrate, a group another user created.
