Before You Begin: When you configure widgets that don't support the role authorization feature, make sure that no personal or sensitive information is included, because the contents in those widgets are visible to the Dayforce users who have access to those hubs. Also, you might upload your own images to the Hub. However, by uploading an image, you acknowledge that you aren’t infringing on any copyright and are either the owner of the material or have received permission to use the material. If you cease to have a lawful basis to use the material, you agree to immediately delete or remove the material from the Hub.
Note: Any existing pasted images that were added prior to Release 62, Service Pack 2, will display in Rich Text widgets; but if the page containing the images is saved or republished, Dayforce might remove those images from the RTE.
To add and configure Rich Text Widgets:
- In Hub Designer, select a home page
or subpage , in a section, click + Add Widget. - In the drop-down list, click Rich Text Editor.
- (Optional) Enter or paste text, or paste an image into the editor. If you paste an image, Dayforce displays a confirmation dialog indicating that the image will be saved to the Media Library. The application displays dialog error messages if you attempt the following:
- Paste unsupported image types
- Paste images that cannot be pasted from certain web pages
- Paste images when there isn't enough remaining storage space in the Media Library. You can delete unwanted files from the Media Library for more storage space and click OK again to save.
- Paste images that exceed the 2 MB maximum file size
