Sections allow you to separate assets into related groups, yet keep them on one portal. When sharing product launches, for example, create separate sections in one portal to highlight each product. When products are updated, just update the portal with new product sections.
To add sections, click Add section, then add either an assets or banner section. In Brand Portals, you can also add color palette and column sections. In Video Portals, in addition to assets and banner sections, you can add video sections.
Add sections as you need them or move sections by dragging and dropping. If there’s a section that no longer applies to your portal, simply delete it by clicking the trash can icon.
Assets section¶
Add assets or collections to asset sections within portals. Display individual assets, feature a single collection, or display multiple collections within the section.
Search for assets or collections, then select the assets or collections you want to include in the section. Up to 5,000 assets can be included in assets sections. In Brand Portals, you can select dynamic galleries, which have no limit on the number of assets included in sections.
From the Settings (gear) icon, select general settings for the section. Display asset names or metadata, allow users to search within the section, select the number of assets that display for the section, and choose the sort order for assets. Also, choose to allow downloads or shares of assets in the section or display filters.
Banner section¶
Add header images to your portal using banner sections, then add text in your brand color (or any other color) to divide sections or include a call to action button that takes users to things like order forms or more information. Add banner sections between asset sections to separate content.
Further customize the banner area by choosing different fonts, font sizes, colors, and font layouts.
Note that banner images do not update when new versions of the assets are added in the Assets app.
Color palette section¶
Color palette sections can be added to Brand Portals to highlight your brand's colors. Add more color palettes to the section by clicking the Add Color icon.
Column section¶
Column sections can be added to Brand Portals to lay out additional information for your portal's audience. Choose from one- to four-column layouts or 1/3 + 2/3 and 2/3 + 1/3 layouts.
After you've selected the layout, add text or images to each column, then format the text or crop the image for the best presentation on your portal. After an image is chosen for the column section, select an image size (small, medium, or large), further crop the image, add a link to it to take users to a different website or page, or delete the image.
Note that assets in columns do not update when new versions of the assets are added in the Assets app.
For portals that will be viewed on mobile devices, we recommend using column sections rather than banner sections.
Video section¶
There are two types of sections available in Video Portals: featured video sections and playlist sections. Add a video section, then choose from one of the available types.
Featured video¶
The featured video section allows you to prominently display one video, along with a corresponding title and description, for your users. Highlight a new brand or product, new employees, or how to accomplish something in the video.
Playlist¶
A playlist section is a carousel of videos. They’ll display in Quick View when played, and you can choose to automatically play the next one in the list.
