Home Pages Overview

With the 7.3.1 release, you received two new homepage options:

·            Default Home Page

·            Fundraising Home Page

 

These homepage options were created as ASPX web pages and work with Personify360 commands to provide a more personal homepage with Quick Links to your users upon initial login to Personify360. Each text box on the homepage links to a screen needed to complete that task. For example, clicking “Add a new product” opens the Product Central screen.

 

The Default Home Page offers you quick access to a variety of common tasks, such as working with Customers, Orders, and Products.

 

The Fundraising Home Page offers you a similar experience as the Default Home Page, except it is more fundraising-focused, by referencing Constituents, Donations, and Pledges.

To define the home page:

1.    Applying the Personify360 Home Pages

2.    Modifying a Personify360 Home Page

3.    Assigning a Home Page

 

You can set up a Personify360 Home Page to appear as default for your users upon initial login to Personify360, just as you may a dashboard or an association website.

 

In order to do so, you must apply the Personify360 Home Page URL for the ASPX page(s) to your Application Parameters and select a persona’s default homepage on the Persona Maintenance (PSM004) screen as that Personify360 Home Page.

 

Personify360 Home Pages can only be applied at the persona-level, not user-level. Steps for applying the Personify360 Home Pages to personas in your Personify360 application can be found in the next subsection. If a user does not have access to a screen linked on the Personify360 Home Page, the security settings remain and that link disables for the user.

The Personify360 Home Pages are best viewed on a computer with 1280 x 800 resolution and Internet Explorer 7 or a later version installed

Users of the Personify360 Home Pages can personalize the background of each home page panel, such as the Orders panel, by uploading their personalized images to the organization’s web server.

 

You should keep the following items in mind, however, if you allow your users to upload their own images.

·            Image are not scanned for viruses before upload.

·            Images are restricted to 4MB/image, by default (unless the web.config files setting for httpRuntime...maxRequestLength states otherwise).

·            Images do not resize based on the dimensions of the Home Page panel.

·            If a user wants the image to fit exact, they must upload images with the same dimensions stated below for each section and have a display resolution of 1280 x 800.

o           Customers    300 x 445

o           Orders          460 x 250

o           Analytics      230 x 160

o           Products      230 x 160

·            Users must refresh the application (press F5) to apply the uploaded images to the homepage or wait until the next time they open Personify360.

·            Any changes made to the images only save for that particular User ID and persona.
The uploaded images save in a separate folder for each user ID on the web server.
For example, images uploaded by John Doe would save under the following folder:
C:\wwwroot\Personify.HomePage\images\JDOE.

·            Only system administrators with access to the web server can restore the original images for a user.
To do so, simply delete the image folder created for that user ID on the web server.
Continuing with the example above, to restore John Doe’s homepage images back to default, you need to delete the folder previously created that contains his images:
C:\wwwroot\Personify.HomePage\images\JDOE.

 

Personify360 Home Pages (Default and Fundraising) are completely configurable to your organization’s needs. This includes each link’s functionality and link label, as well as total number of sections that display. You can create and apply as many Personify360 Home Pages to the Personify360 application as you desire.
