Point - How do I set up navigation tiles on a page?

Setting up tiles

Tiles is a component for pages in your Point brand portal. It shows large buttons that link to other pages or content, so users can find their way around.

The page must use a page template with the Tiles component. See Point - Page template builder.

1. Open the page in edit mode. See Point - How do I edit a page in the brand portal?
2. Click the cogwheel under the tiles. Tiles settings opens.

3. On the General tab, choose the settings for all tiles. They are explained below.
4. Click Add tile for each tile and fill in its fields. Add a link to every tile with More > Edit link.
5. Optional: set animations on the Animations tab.
6. Click Save.

What are the general settings?

• Styles: the layout of the tiles, for example Thirds.
• Display: Normal, Full width or Card. With Card, the text shows under the tile and you can add a description.
• Title and Subtitle: text above the tiles.
• Background: the background behind the whole tiles section.
• Inverse: switches the colour of the title and subtitle.
• Group permissions: lets you choose which user groups see each tile. See below.
• Load more: shows a set number of tiles, with a button to show the rest.

What can I set on each tile?

• BG: the tile background.
• Icon: an icon on the tile.
• Focus: the part of the image to keep in view when the tile is cropped, for example on a phone.
• Heading: the text on or under the tile.
• More: Add description adds text to Card tiles. Edit link sets where the tile goes.
• Inverse: switches the text colour for better contrast.
• Duplicate and Delete: copy or remove the tile.

Drag a tile by its handle to change the order. Copy from copies the setup from another language.

How do I animate the tiles?

On the Animations tab:

• Appearing: how the tiles appear when the page loads.
• Hover style, Overlay colour, Text hover colour and Icon hover colour: how a tile changes when users move the mouse over it.

How do I show tiles only to some user groups?

1. On the General tab, turn on Group permissions.
2. Click the user group button next to a tile and choose the groups in Display to user groups.
3. Repeat for each tile and click Save.

This only controls who sees the tile. To control who can open the page it links to, see Point - Setting who can view or edit a page.
