Your community homepage features four configurable sections by default, arranged in the following order: Homecards, Next Mission, Explore/Search, and Featured Channels. This layout allows for easy navigation and engagement, ensuring members can quickly access key content and activities.

How to manage Homecards

Homecards allow you to animate the homepage by highlighting the latest events or available product testings and display all key activities available on the platform to create a dashboard effect for quick access to various points of interest within the community

The Homecards can be 2 types of cards:

• Manual Homecards: These are the Homecards from V1 that allow for manually creating a card that redirects to a location within the BEP or externally.
• Dynamic Homecards:
  • Highlight the 4 key community activities: product testing, contest, survey, and event
  • These cards by default redirect to the detail page of a particular event or product testing
  • If no item is available, the card redirects to the associated channel

These Homecards, whether dynamic or manual, can be positioned relative to each other.

How to manage Featured channels

Visitors or logged-in members want to quickly identify different themes to find a topic that interests them. The goal is to encourage users to click on a group and subscribe to the channel by increasing their visibility (mainly on mobile).

Create a featured card

1. Click on the "Manage featured channels" button from tab called Featured channel in the Home section
2. You'll land on the Featured channels page. This view lists all created channel cards.

   Channel: select the desired channel from the list.
   Only channels created on the platform and in "Visible" or "Limited" mode are displayed in the dropdown.
   Channels for which a card has already been created do not appear in the dropdown.
   Banner image: this field is optional
   Dimensions: 213x66 px
   This image is only visible from the homepage and does not overwrite the banner in the channel header.
   If a banner is already configured for the channel, loading a new image here will replace the channel's banner, but only for the homepage view.
   If there is no banner configured for the channel and no image is loaded here, then the background of the group card is the primary color.
   
   
5. Click on "Add".
   By default, the new card created appears at the top of the channel card list if you clicked on the "add a featured channel" button initially.
   If you created the card by clicking on the + icon directly in the existing featured channels listing, then the newly created card appears where you clicked the + icon.

If you exit the configuration at any time without clicking "confirm", a popup will appear asking for confirmation.
