Device: Desktop
Roles: Admin, Editor, Article Editor for global articles, Space Owner/Admin for Space Featured Story
If you are an Editor or Administrator, you can choose to feature a Global news article to appear as a standout story on the main Activity page by setting it up as a Hero Article. It appears on the top right.
To set up an article as a Hero Article / Featured Story, it must:
- Be a global article
- Be published already
- Have a landscape cover image
- 800px x 330px images are recommended. The safe space for text and important elements of an image: 490px x 330px. The safe space allows for compatibility across different device types.
Looking at the Workvivo Activity page:
This is the Hero Article in this example:
Setting up a Hero Article / Featured Story
- Open the News page and from the Latest News section, click “Manage News” on the right hand side of this section
- From the "Options" dropdown in the Manage News section, click “Hero Article Setup”
- From here you can click “Add Article” and published global news articles will appear in a list
- Select the desired Global article you want to feature
Note: You can add multiple articles to trigger a Featured Story carousel. While there is no limit to the number of feature stories you can have, we recommend a maximum of 5 stories in the carousel
- Click and drag articles within the Hero Article Setup screen to change their order in the carousel
- You can also display the article in the main news section to display image only or image with text.
- Slide the toggle to the right to disable the text overlay
You can also include a Space Article in the carousel on the main activity feed, however, a featured space article will not appear under the Hero Article Setup and will appear last in the carousel.
