Basic Info

Example

Tutorial

1. Navigate to and open your page.
   
2. Add the Factoid Promo component.
   
   1. Tip: The Factoid Promo works best in smaller column width spaces; we suggest using this component in conjunction with Column Control or in the sidebar.
      
3. A new Factoid Promo component placeholder icon will display in the space.
   
4. To edit the component, click or touch the placeholder. The component toolbar will display along the top of the space.
5. Select the wrench icon to configure.
   
6. An edit window will appear so you can customize the promo's overall appearance adding optional text, adding an optional link, selecting an option icon to display, and inserting the required title.
   1. Required fields:
      1. Title
         
   2. Optional fields:
      1. Icon
      2. Text
