Record Showcase

The Record Showcase allows you to highlight a selection of records that might interest visitors to your CalmView site. Showcase records are served up to visitors on the home page, in the sidebar when a visitor is looking at search results or other pages, and can be viewed on their own Record Showcase page (shown below).
