I created a network and it looks very generic. Can I
customize it for my needs?
Yes, if you are using Clearvale Enterprise. Before you begin
inviting people to become network members, you will want to
customize the appearance of your site. You can customize as much or
as little as you want. Select
Admin>Appearance to make
changes.
If you are using Clearvale Express, you cannot customize the look
of your network. If you want a network that you can partially or
fully customize, contact your Sales associate to see about
upgrading to Clearvale Enterprise.
I don’t like the default background. Can I use my
own?
Yes. You can upload a new image for your background or specify a
background color. When you change the background, however, make
sure that there is enough contrast between the text and new
background image, as well as the logo. If not, you can upload
a different image or change the text color so that it displays
clearly against the your background.
How do I upload a different background?
Select Admin>Appearance. Scroll down to
Page Header, select a color to use as the background or browse to
the image you want to upload and use as the background. Click
Save to see your new background.
In Appearance>Advanced, I selected a theme for my
network but don’t like it after all. If I change it, will
anything happen to the information on my site?
You can select a new theme for your site at anytime; all data and
user information is retained.
I need to have my organization’s logo display on the
network. Can I do this?
Yes, you can upload your own logo or image so that it displays in
the upper left-hand corner of the page. Select
Admin>Appearance>Branding. Scroll down to
Logo and browse to the image that you want to upload. Click
Save when done.
In addition, you can include your own logo on the Network Login and
Registration page. To do so, scroll down to Banner and upload your
image and then optionally specify a welcome message. Click
Save when done.
I created a new network and need to setup the home page.
What do I do?
As the administrator, you can change the arrangement of your
network’s home page. On the home page, click Edit
Layout. Then drag the widgets you want from the widget
gallery to a location on your page. Make sure to click
Save when done.
I want to display more than one video (or Twitter Feed,
etc) on my home page. Can I do this?
Yes. You can drag more than one of the same type of widget onto
your page. For example, you might want to configure one Twitter
widget to display Tweets from your CEO and another to display
Tweets about your company.
