Introduction
The Hub is your central portal within Blink that allows you to store all documentation and policies used by your workforce, bring together all external applications (through integrations or links) as well as fill out any forms you need.
This article will walk you through:
🎨 Who can add content to the Hub?
There are 3 different User roles within Blink that give the ability to add content to the Hub:
Organisation Admin: this User has access to add content across all Groups within the organisation. This User additionally has permissions to amend Users and Groups across the whole organisation.
Group Admin: this User has access to add content to all Groups they are a Group Admin for, within the organisation.
Content Moderator: this User has access to add content to all Groups across the organisation.
📱 How can I add content to the Hub?
All users that have access to add content to the Hub will have the additional Admin cog option in their Blink navigation- it is important to note this is only available via Desktop, both the web link and desktop app.
Once you have selected the admin icon, the admin portal will open as a separate window. In order to continue adding content to the Hub, navigate to the Content Studio > Hub within the left navigation panel.
Here, within the content studio you can select the 'Add Content' button in the top right corner. Then you will be able to choose the type of content you would like to add to the Hub as well as where within the Hub you would like it to live.
⚠️ Default and Example Hub Items
When you first enter your Blink instance, you'll notice a number of example resources have been created in your Blink Hub. These are intended for your education during your platform setup, but you will likely want to remove them prior to launching Blink to your workforce in favor of resources specific to your employees.
