What's New
The What's New section is designed to help highlight material new to your collection. It is only available if you have chosen the Default Calmview theme and will not be displayed if you have chosen the Showcase theme.
The What's New section is located on the right hand side of the Calmview home
page as shown in this example.
Please note: the example screen will open a new window, when you have
finished and wish to return to this page, use the cross in the top right corner
to close the window.
We recommend having only two records in this section, otherwise the appearance
of the Home Page may become unbalanced. "What's New" items are intended as an eye-catching
addition to the home page,
but members of the public may find it tiresome to scroll through more than two
records.
You can show an image, a description and a 'view record' link in the What's New
section for each catalogue record you wish to highlight.
When the link on a What's New item is clicked, the relevant full record view
is shown. The text on this link defaults to 'View Record', if you wish to alter
this text see What's New on the
Homepage in the Pages section.
When you choose the What's New option (underneath Showcases) in the Configurator,
a screen as shown in this
example, will
appear. Please note: the example screen will open a new window, when you
have finished and wish to return to this page, use the cross in the top right
corner to close the window.
