Creating Tiles for News Publications

You can publish a news publication as a tile to include it in your Fluid homepage. You can also specify which news articles can display as top stories. Each news publication item can have an associated image. In Fluid mode, display of the image depends on the screen size. PeopleSoft Interaction Hub provides you an option to create a tile of a publication, a section, or an article. You can organize the tiles under folders like PeopleSoft Applications, to segregate different topics.

For more information on creating a tile for Fluid homepage, see the product documentation for PeopleTools: Fluid User Interface Developer’s Guide, “Configuring Tile Options”.
