Edit Front Page

CSI Secure Connect allows customization of the front page in a number of ways.

Birthdays and anniversaries are displayed as a 14 day sliding window and will appear one week before the date and stay on the front page for one week past the event.  With the Anniversaries option,your Site Administrator can choose to have user anniversaries display every year or in five year increments.

The New Postings section of CSI Secure Connect displays items that have recently been posted. Your Site Administrator can enter any number here to indicate how many days an item should be considered “new” for these purposes.

All of the options are selected by default, but Site Administrators do have the choice to remove any or all of these from the front page. Simply click the check box to the right of any option to clear the check mark and remove that item from the front page. After the selections have been made, click Submit.

Navigation

CSI Secure Connect allows customization of main (parent) pages and sub-pages to accommodate your organization’s needs.

To adjust the order of the main (parent) pages listed on CSI Secure Connect under the Pages icon, click the arrow beside Edit Navigation and select Adjust Main Page Order.

Highlight the category you want to move and click on the arrows to move it up or down in the list. To submit the changes, click the Change Order button. The new order will display the next time the current page is refreshed. Site Administrators also have the option to alphabetize the pages by clicking the Alphabetize button.

Also from the Navigation option, CSI Secure Connect main (parent) pages and sub-pages can be edited or deleted, and sub-pages can be re-ordered.

To edit or delete a main (parent) page or sub-page, select the page you want and click the Edit button.

From here, your Site Administrator can enter a hypertext link or browse for a replacement file. It is also here where the entire page can be deleted from Site Navigation. When finished making changes, click the Submit button.

Note:  If a main (parent) page is deleted, all sub-pages listed under the main page are deleted as well.

To re-order the sub-page list, select any page from the main list and click the Edit button.  Click the dropdown arrow beside Edit on the following page and select Adjust Sub Page Order.

Highlight the category you want to move and click on the arrows to move it up or down in the list. To submit the changes, click the Change Order button. The new order will display the next time the current page is refreshed. To alphabetize the pages, simply click the Alphabetize button.

Directory Maintenance

If a file is deleted from CSI Secure Connect, the content associated with that file remains on the server until it is manually removed. This is to eliminate any issues associated with files that are linked from other pages within CSI Secure Connect. To clean up the directories, select Directory Maintenance.

To permanently remove a file, select the file name and click Delete.

Corporate Default Links

Your Site Administrator can enter links that will appear in every user’s My Links section of CSI Secure Connect by selecting Corporate Default Links.

Enter a title for the link in the blank Link Title text box and the web address in the Internet Address text box at the top of the page. Check the box below Internet Address if you want the link to open in a new window.

To display the corporate link to all users, click the All Users radio button.  To restrict the users who see the link by division, department, sub-department or group, click the corresponding radio button and select the specific users from the dropdown list beside your desired category.

Promotional boxes are pictures that display in a small box on the left-hand side of the CSI Secure Connect Home Page. Site Administrators can upload a graphic that will appear below the Dynamic Messaging section and will take users to the promotion’s URL when selected.

Once you complete the necessary information needed to add a corporate link, click the Submit button in the middle of the page. Return to the CSI Secure Connect Home Page to see the new link appear in the current list of corporate links.

To delete any of the current corporate links, click the Delete button at the end of the appropriate row.  The link you deleted will immediately be removed from the list of corporate links.

  
To edit the current corporate links, click the Edit button at the end of the appropriate row.  This will take you to a new screen that will allow you to edit the link title, internet address, new window option, promo box option and the users you wish to see the link.  Click the Update button when you are finished making changes.

To edit or change the promotional image graphic, the original item must be removed from the Corporate Links section. The link will need to be recreated with the new graphic.  When a promotion is over, simply uncheck the Promo Box option. The link itself will then become a part of the My Links section of the CSI Secure Connect Home Page, rather than the separate graphic located below Dynamic Messaging.

The list of corporate links can be customized to appear in any order your Site Administrator chooses.  To reorder the link list, click the arrow icon in front of any link row, and drag and drop the links into the order you want.  Once you have finished reordering the list of corporate links, click Update Order.  The links will now appear in the newly edited order on the CSI Secure Connect Home Page.
