Folder Properties page with the Required Section on Pagelet option selected

See Folder Properties Page.

Field or Control

Description

Required Section on Pagelet

Select this option if you want this section to appear on the pagelet.

This selection forces the section onto the pagelet for all viewers and can be used to communicate important information when used in conjunction with a pagelet that is registered as required on a homepage tab.

Note: This selection does not enable all viewers to view all articles; viewer roles on the articles still control whether a viewer can view any particular article on a pagelet.

After you select the Required Section on Pagelet option, a new section automatically inherits the members and privileges of its parent news publication in the Folder Security page. However, privileges added later are not automatically transferred down the folder hierarchy and must be updated on a folder-by-folder basis. To assist with this process, an Inherit Members button appears when you view folder security for any subfolder, enabling you to quickly duplicate the same members as assigned to the parent folder.

See Folder Properties Page.
