Add an advert or campaign to the sidebar Task

You may wish to promote certain campaigns, news stories, or better still, tasks and guides on the intranet. There are several places that you can put advert touts or campaign imagery. You’ll need to place a widget in an appropriate placeholder.

Widget areas

Recommended area to use:

  • Tasks sidebar, capturing the attention of staff coming to the intranet to perform a task, so more suitable for “doing” type messages
  • News landing page, suitable for promotional campaigns
  • News sidebar, appears on all news stories
  • Blog landing page
  • Blog sidebar, appears on all blog posts
  • Search results page, a popular page to show adverts and campaign messages

Add a suitable widget to one of these areas, such as the simple Text widget or a more complex Spots widget containing graphics and links.

For example, you could add the Feature blogposts widget to the news landing page to promote your bloggers.

You can also use intravert widgets in the available widget areas.
