Content associated with a team, including the team homepage, has standard elements. On all team pages, you will see the following on the right hand-side:

• Team Content: Content is automatically collected by the website, based on the Group and Group Content Filing System tagging.
  See Categorizing Team Content for more information.
• Team Section: Directly under "Team Content", you will see a section titled with the team name. This section provides functionality for team members, including adding content, inviting team members, viewing current team members, and searching team content.
  Note: Clicking the team name in the Team Section of any group content will take you to the team homepage.
• Key Links: Content and external links associated with the team by the team lead.
  See Team Description for more information.

The team lead and members can populate some of these elements, but they will all appear on all pages associated with a team.

Default Homepage

The default team homepage is automatically generated using the "Welcome Message", and all content tagged as "News" in the Group Content Filing System for that specific group.

Welcome Message

The Welcome Message is, essentially, a standard "Body" section. You can add images, links, and other HTML elements just as you would for any other content body (see Adding / Editing Content Form - The Detailed Explanation for more information).

Group News

By default, the group homepage will show the last 5 pages that were created and tagged as "News" in the Group Content Filing System for the group in question.

Note: The site will automatically show the "teaser" for the page. If you would like to adjust the amount of the content that is displayed on the homepage, you can manually add in a break at the end of the desired teaser. To do so, add the following into the HTML of the body at the point at which the "teaser" should stop: <!--break-->

Creating Additional Team Pages

Teams on the MMI site can have more than one page in their section.  Each page will appear as a tab at the top of the group homepage. The ability to create these pages is limited to the group administrators (see Team Membership for more information).

To Add Team Pages

1. While on the group homepage, click the "Pages" tab.
2. Click "Add New Page" link, which near the top of the page.
3. Use the form to setup the page:
   • Page Title: Text that will appear as the tab label, and title of the page
   • Path: Shortname that will appear at the end of the URL for the page
   • Show blocks: If clicked, the Team Content, Team Section and Key Links will appear at the right side of hte page.
   • Published: If checked, this page is visible to anyone visiting the site
4. Choose one of the established layout options for your page.  Content will be placed into each of the sections displayed.
5. By Clicking "Save," you create a shell into which content can be placed.

All available pages are listed on the "Pages" tab. From this list, you can perform a variety of actions:

• Homepage: Click this radio button to establish the particular page as the homepage for the team
• Title: Click the title to view the page
  Note: Until you add content to the page, the tab will display a blank page
• Weight: Establish the order of multiple pages.  Lighter pages (those with a smaller or more negative number) "float to the top", while heaver pages (those with a larger number) "sink to the bottom".
• Operations: Modify the look or content of the page
  
  • Edit Content: Add content to the page, using the available options
  • Change Layout:  Choose a different established layout option for the page.
    
  • Edit Layout Settings: Change the look and feel of each section of the page.  For example, you can choose rounded corners as a display setting for the complete page or individual sections.  
  • Edit Page: Change the specifications entered (Page Title, Path, Show Blocks and Published) when the page was added.
  • Delete Page: Remove the page.

To Add Content to a Team Page

Content is added to the page using the "Edit Content" link available from the "Pages" tab.  These kinds of pages work very differently from standard MMI web content.  Instead of prompting you to enter content, and tag it, the team pages are compiled from automatically generated blocks of content.  

For example, while adding content to a team page, I can choose to add the "Key Links" section of the group - but I cannot add key links. 

The content options available in team pages will grow and mature over time.  You are welcome to populate a team page with content blocks, and experiment with setups.

If you have additional questions, or ideas for items to add to the content blocks, please let us know!
