Create and Schedule Your Post

Before You Begin: The hub page containing the target Scheduled Content widget must be published before you can assign posts to it in the Content Library (see step 5 below). If the target Scheduled Content widget has no posts, it doesn’t show in Hub when you publish the page.

To create a post:

1. In Hub Designer, click the Content Library tab.
2. Click +Create new to open the Create new post template.
3. Create the post:
   1. Language: (Required) Select the language for your post. If you edit or duplicate a post and update the language, the post’s assigned widgets are removed. Dayforce shows a confirmation dialog before updating the language.
   2. Title: (Required) Enter a title up to 140 characters long.
   3. Supporting Media: (Optional) Add one image (2 MB maximum) or one video (315 MB maximum). You can drag and drop an image from your local drive or browse for one in the Media Library. For videos, you must add them from the Media Library.
   4. Description: (Optional) Add a brief description that appears as the body of the post.
4. Schedule the post: Specify date ranges and times for your post. Make sure that the dates don't overlap.
   1. Timezone: (Required). The time zone that you select determines when the widget shows in Hub. Also, the time zone is shown when you preview the widget from the Hubs tab.
   2. Start date and time: (Required) Enter a start date and time for the post. The drop-down list shows a 12 or 24-hour time format based on the employee’s settings.
   3. End date and time: (Optional) Enter an end date and time for the post. The drop-down list shows a 12 or 24-hour time format based on the employee’s settings.
5. Display on Scheduled Content widgets: Specify where to show your post by selecting relevant widgets in the hierarchy tree. The hierarchy tree only lists pages with published scheduled content widgets.
6. Save the post as a draft or schedule it.
7. Note: If you don’t click the Schedule button, a post with a set schedule remains in draft mode and doesn’t show in Hub even when the scheduled dates arrive.

The post is added to the Content Library. Also, the Hub Designer screen shows the Scheduled Content widget with the post. If you scheduled a post, the Scheduled Content widget shows the schedule information for live and scheduled posts:

• Live: End date. It also indicates if the end date isn’t specified.
• Scheduled: Start date, time, and time zone.
