Making the Hub clear and digestible is one of the most important parts of it all! If a user can't find something they may find their time wasted or they may be disappointed. This is why we’ve introduced a number of additions to the Hub which allow you to organize the Hub for your users enabling you to highlight key information and make it easier than ever for your users to find what they’re looking for.
In this article:
🌩️ Quick Links
Administrators can mark things stored within Hub as Quick Links to help users access key information and tools quicker and easier, by displaying them in the feed (desktop only) and at the top of the Hub.
🔠 Sections
At the root level of Hub, you can add Sections which allow you to categorise and sort the top level of Hub.
📁 Folders
Folders are a great way of grouping content that you don’t want to display at the roots level of Hub. As with any other Hub content, you can select what teams have access to view the topics in a specific folder.
To add a new folder, simply click on "Add content" in the Hub section of the Admin Panel and select folder. Enter the requested information in the form below and select "share" to make it accessible for your team.
Setting your Hub Sharing Permissions
Blink’s sharing permissions on Hub allows Admins to streamline their Hub structure, while ensuring relevant access to their employees.
Creating a Parent folder and setting sharing permissions
When you create a Parent folder, you can select two sharing permissions:
Custom audience
Not shared
Creating a Child folder and setting sharing permissions
If you add Child folders to a Parent folder, you have additional sharing permissions:
Same as parent folder
Custom audience
Not shared
With these sharing permissions, Child folders can essentially cater to a more specific audience within the Parent folder, if you select ‘Custom audience’.
For example, you are a global company with offices in the US, UK, Poland, South Africa, and Singapore.
Your Parent folder is meant to be benefits that can be accessed globally, as such you shared to the ‘Global company’ team.
In addition, each Child folder are country-specific benefits, as such you shared one of the folders to the ‘UK’.
Admin point of view
User point of view
For a user based in the UK, they can access one folder called ‘Benefits’, which will allow them to see:
The benefit accessible to the global company
Their ‘UK benefits’ folder
The user will not be able to see the ‘US benefits’ folder.
Default Content
Within a folder, you can opt to use a page as default content. By doing this, the page that you select is displayed at the top of that folder increasing users awareness of it.
💡 We recommend using this for highlighting the latest or most frequently used content in a folder
Open the "hub" section in the Admin panel
Find the page you would like to set as the default content and click the three dots on the right side.
Select "Set as landing page" from the menu
