Changing text on the Home page

To change text on the Home page, you must edit data in the Main layout. There are multiple versions of the Main layout, and you must change all of them, as explained in About responsive UI layouts.

Caution: 
This topic explains how to change translatable text strings to literal text that cannot be translated. If you need to use translatable text on your portals, do not make the changes specified here. Instead, see the portal customization guide.

This table provides examples of what to select and edit for regular text on the Customer Portal Home page. Steps are provided after the table.

  1. In the Portal Manager, select Content Development > Layouts.
  2. Find the Main layout with the SL originator. You can scroll or type main.
  3. Right-click in the UI column for that row and select View Layout UI. This opens a new browser window for the portal Layout Editor.
  4. Click Edit. This creates a new copy of the layout with your specified originator.
  5. In the Layout Editor, do this for each text string to change:
    1. In the right pane, collapse the Collection section, expand the Regions section, and select the region of the text to change. See the table above for more information.
    2. Expand the Embedded Regions section and select the embedded region and card, if applicable. The center of the page shows the card design for the selected region.
    3. In the active card design, click the text region. This highlights the region.
    4. In the right pane, expand the Cell section and change the text in the Data field.
  6. Click Save.
  7. Repeat this task for all versions of the Main layout. See About responsive UI layouts.
  8. To review changes, open or refresh your portal website.
