Hiding a Tile

Some tiles may appear on multiple launchpads, with editing permissions also comes the ability to hide duplicate tiles. If would like to hide the tiles on the group launchpads, follow the steps below while in edit mode:

1. Click on the group launchpad.

Hidden tiles are slightly lighter and have a dashed line around them. To display a previously hidden tile, click visibility.

Viewing All Launchpads for Tile

If a tile appears on multiple launchpads available to the user, a info appears on the tile while in edit mode on your personal launchpad. Click on the icon to reveal on which launchpads the tile is available. This information can be used to determine if the user wants to hide tiles on the launchpad.

Arranging Tiles

To arrange tiles on the launchpad, follow the guidelines below:

1. Locate and click the editEdit button on the launchpad.
2. Drag and drop the icon to the desired location. All tiles shift to the right or left when icons are moved.
3. Repeat Step 2 until the edits are complete.
4. Click saveSave in the top right corner if no more edits are desired.

Cancel returns you to the launchpad without saving your changes.

You can move tiles around on group launchpads assigned to you. These changes only show on your personal account and do not affect the underlying configuration created by the administrator.

Deleting a Tile

To delete a tile, click the garbage can found in the top right corner of the tile.

Creating a New Launchpad

Clicking NEW allows the user to create his or her own personal launchpad. Previous tiles are removed if the user already has a personal launchpad.

If this option is not visible, it has been disabled by the administrator.

Copying a Launchpad

Clicking COPY copies the current launchpad and makes it the user's new launchpad. The user can then add or delete tiles from his or her launchpad without changing the original launchpad. This option is particularly useful when a user has been assigned to a group launchpad but needs additional tiles.

If this option is not visible, it has been disabled by the administrator.

Fixing Tile Errors

If there is a problem with a tile, an error icon appears in the top right corner of the tile. There are two different types of problems:

• The first, indicated by this icon, error, occurs because there is a configuration error with the tile. To resolve the problem enter edit mode and click on the gear to either delete the tile or configure the tile. Refer to Editing a Tile for any questions on how to edit a tile.
• The second, indicated by new_releases, indicates the tile is no longer available. Enter edit mode to delete the tile.

Viewing All Assigned Launchpads

If a group launchpad or launchpads have been assigned by an administrator, each launchpad can be viewed in the left panel. Each launchpad is labeled with the group's launchpad name as assigned by the administrator.

Navigate among launchpads by clicking on the launchpad name found to left of the screen. By default, the personal launchpad is displayed if the user has one. If not, a group launchpad is displayed upon login.

Admin Launchpads

From the Admin tile, administrators have the ability to create, edit, and delete users' and groups' launchpads and tiles. The administrator can also view others' launchpads and modify the users' editing permissions. There is also an Admin Launchpads tile available when adding new tiles.

System launchpads can be edited, created, viewed and deleted just as user and group launchpads.

See the Launchpads documentation for more information.
