Settings for marketing spots ( Marketing Tiles)

Marketing tiles are spots that can be added either at the top or bottom of the student’s home page. These can be enabled or disabled separately meaning that you can choose to show them with the rest of the content in the student portal or disable them in case you want to reduce clutter in this page.

  • Go to Settings > Appearance > Themes > Elegant theme > Marketing tiles. 
  • In “Marking tile position” settings, you can choose either to include the marketing spots to be displayed at the bottom or top of the page.

You can configure up to 6 marketing spots. You must include a title in order for the Marketing Spot to appear. The title will activate the individual Marketing Spots. Each title will require:

  • Title: include the title for the marketing spot
  • Image: you can upload a file or drag and drop the image you want to be displayed. The recommended size is 255 x 174 px
  • Content: in this place, you can add a description or a text informing your users what this marketing spot contains.
  • Link text: this is the text that will appear in the button in the marketing spot.
  • Link URL: here, the url of the page where you want to redirect your users can be added.
  • Link Target: In this drop-down menu can be chosen either if the marketing content will be opened in the same page, new page or parent frame
