Tiles are what make up the display of your home and site dashboards on your Simpplr intranet. There are different types of tiles you can add to personalize your dashboards across sites.

• Content tiles
• Organizational tiles
• Rich text & links tiles
• External tiles
• Site-specific tiles
• Delete/Edit tiles
• Mobile tiles

Click on the + icon at the bottom right-hand corner of the Dashboard to bring up a list of the tiles that you can add to your Site Dashboard. Tiles are split into five categories - Content, Sites, Organization, Rich text & links and External. You can change the title of all the tiles. 

Content tiles

When adding Content tiles you can choose between a Recommended, Latest & popular, Pages from category, Onboarding and Custom tile.

Recommended, latest & popular content tile

• Selecting a Latest & popular tile will create a tile with two tabs, one for Latest, which will display the most recently added content, and one for Popular, which will display the most popular content, either from sites you follow or are a member of, or a particular site of your choice.
  
  
• You can choose whether your tile should include All types of content or solely Pages, Events, Albums.
• If you select an All Content tile or a Pages tile you can choose whether the tile will display as a Standard tile, which will list the items with a small thumbnail of the Cover Image, or as a Showcase tile, which will display a large preview of the top item, with a list of other items below.
  

Pages from category tile

• As of the Ida release, Simpplr offers a Pages from category content tile on the home dashboard that allows you to include all content from a certain site tagged with a particular category. 
• This means you can showcase all content from the Human Resources site with the page category "Benefits" if you wish.
  
  

Onboarding tile

The Onboarding tiles will reflect any content that's been tagged as Onboarding for new hires. As per the requirements of onboarding, this tile will only show on your dashboard if you are a new hire within the last 30 days.

• Choose between typing and formatting text in the Rich Text tab, or entering any HTML code that you want to be displayed into the HTML tab. You can add up to 20,000 characters in either tab. You can also create a tile to display useful links. The titles of these tiles are searchable in the global search bar.

External tiles

Site-specific tiles

You can edit or delete a tile by hovering your mouse over the upper right-hand corner of the tile to make the drop-down arrow appear. Click on the drop-down arrow, then click “Edit” to edit the tile, or “Remove” to remove the tile.

Mobile tiles

Note: Not every tile that's available on the desktop version of Simpplr will appear on the mobile app. There are also default tiles that appear on mobile, regardless of whether or not that tile is set up on the web version. See the table below for which tiles are on mobile, and which are not. 

There can be up to five default tiles that will always display on mobile before your own cerated tiles. The default tiles are as follows and will always display in this order.

• Must Read / Onboarding

• Top picks (Home) / Popular (Sites) / Recommended

• Recently Published 

• Events (If any)

• Celebration and new hire (from feed - 3 days data)

This means the mobile dashboard experience will differ from web dashboards in the following ways:

• Default tiles will display regardless of whether or not they are present on your web dashboard. This is to surface important and relevant information.

• Only supported tiles will display (there is no messaging on mobile that will tell users there are tiles present on the web they are not able to see). This is to avoid any confusion and give users a better user experience.
