  • Have developed a plan for the information that will need to be made available to your ShareVision users (i.e. Consider what pages you will need for the portals on your site, what type of information will be included on each page and who should have access to each page)

  • The Page Menu allows you to create a New PagePart.
  • The PagePart menu allows you to Duplicate the PagePart and get the PagePart Link, which can be helpful when you're having issues and need to send ShareVision Support the exact link to the PagePart.

PagePart Types


There are 9 different types of Page Parts. As each one has its own purpose and because the set up of each type differs slightly, separate knowledge base articles have been created. These knowledge base articles will provide you with the specific steps to configure each one.


Adding a New PagePart


There are two ways to add a new PagePart to your ShareVision site

  1. On the Page Menu at the top of the Page Settings, hover your mouse on the Page Menu so the drop-down appears and click New PagePart, you will be taken to a new window where you can add all the necessary information for your new PagePart. The PagePart will automatically be placed of the Page where you selected the New PagePart.



  2. The second option for creating a New PagePart is clicking the New PagePart buttonin the Menu on the left that lists all Portals, Pages, and PageParts. Select the Page you'd like to add a PagePart to and then select the green New PagePart button at the bottom of the section. You will once again be taken to a new window where you can add all the necessary information about your new PagePart.


Reordering PageParts


PageParts can be reordered in the Page Settings.

  1. Select the Page that has the PageParts you wish to re-order. All Pages have a  icon beside their name for easy identification.
  2. A list of PageParts for the Page will be seen on the right hand side
  3. To reorder the PageParts, select the PagePart and drag it to the required position (order).
  4. Once you are satisfied with the order, press Save. The new PagePart order will now be visible on the front end.


Duplicating a PagePart


Duplicating PageParts allows you to make a copy of an existing PagePart which allows you to:

  • Create a copy of a PagePart on the same page and as the PagePart you are copying from. Use case: The top PagePart can display list items that have not been reviewed and the bottom PagePart can display list items that have been reviewed. In this example, the Additional Filters for each PagePart will need to be set up so that each PagePart filters the list items. 
  • Another use case for duplication is to duplicate system PageParts which are identified by the padlock  icon. These PageParts come with your ShareVision site and will have sections of the PagePart that cannot be customized. A user can bypass the limited customization features in padlocked PageParts by duplicating the PagePart with the lock icon you wish to customize and then the System PagePart can be deleted from the Page. Deleted PageParts will be moved to the Portal Settings Recycle Bin. Duplicated PageParts will never have a Padlock icon and can be customized to your liking.

  • You can also copy a PagePart on a Page from one Portal and copy to a Page to another Portal. For example, if you have set up a PagePart on a Page on the Residences Portal and you would like to have the same PagePart on a Page in the Programs Portal, you can copy the PagePart from the Residences Portal to the Programs Portal. The copied PagePart will have the exact same settings as the one that it was copied from and will save you time is customizing the PagePart on the Programs Portal.


Duplicating a PagePart can be done through the PagePart Menu.

  1. Hover your cursor over the menu to see the drop down options and select Duplicate PagePart.
  2. A popup will appear where you can name the PagePart and select which Page and Portal you'd like the duplicate to be in.
  3. When you have made your selections, click the Duplicate PagePart button to create the new PagePart.


Duplicating a PagePart on a Listing Portal to a Standard Portal

When duplicating PageParts on Listing Portals, a filter field will be listed on the Duplicate PagePart window: 

 

If the PagePart is being duplicated to a Standard Portal where Filter Fields are not used, the Filter Field on the Duplicate PagePart window will be read-only as it does not apply to the Portal selected.

Saving a PagePart


  1. When you make changes to a PagePart, a Warning! message will appear on the PagePart Settings side. This message is a reminder to save the changes you have made.



  2. To save the changes, scroll down on the Page settings (right hand side) and select Save.

  3. If you have made changes and select another area in the Portal settings, a Warning window will appear.



    You can select:
    1. Save: Saves the changes and Success window will appear confirming that the changes were saved successfully. Select Close. Then, the item you selected will open.
    2. Don't save: Changes will not be saved and opens what you selected
    3. Cancel: Closes the Warning window and you will remain on the same portal. It is a good idea to review the Portal and decide if you want to save the changes you have just made. 


Deleting a PagePart


PageParts can be deleted. When a Page is deleted, the PagePart will be moved to the Recycle Bin in Portal Settings.  Learn more by reviewing the Portal Settings Recycle Bin article.
