Changing text in the top section of the Home page

The latest three announcements listed by date in descending order on the portal Announcements page are used for the Home page text. They are displayed for several seconds each in a continuous loop.

When you add announcements for the Announcements page on the portal, you must make sure the ones you want displayed on the Home page have the latest dates. For example, if a Welcome announcement should always be shown first on the portal Home page, set the date to a year far into the future.

To change the announcements for the Home page text:

  1. Log in to the portal using portal data administrator user credentials. This is a special user account that has access to the portal only in administrator mode.
  2. On the portal administration Main page, select Activity > Announcements.
  3. Edit the existing top three announcements or delete them and add new ones. Instructions are provided in the online help for the administrator mode Announcements page.
