Understanding your Home Screen or Custom Homepage

See how it works on iOS

Default Home Screen and Spotlight messages

• Spotlight messages are sent by your administrator and greet you on the Home page of your iOS app. You can see up to 7 messages. Swipe right to see more messages. These messages can include external links and links to courses and content within Showpad.
  
• If users want to present content without the Spotlights and Assets sections, they can see Experiences only by clicking View All. The order of the Experiences can also be changed here.

Note: If there are no available Spotlight messages, users will see Experience and Assets instead. Users with iOS 12 and earlier versions will see the Experiences welcome screen.

Newest Assets

Underneath the Experiences section, you see tiles that show Newest, Most Viewed, and Last Viewed Assets. They are organized by the most recent uploads, with dates listed beneath each title. Below this area, you can navigate to the different areas of the app, such as My Content, Shares, Coaching, and Account settings.

Searching

Searching for content and training materials is also a great feature on the Home Screen. Click the magnifying glass in the upper right corner to find what you need.

Custom Homepages 

If your administrator assigned you one or more Custom Homepages, that will be the first thing you see when logging into Showpad. Same as Pages, these custom homepages can include a mix of text, assets, Experiences, and more.

Note: Currently, in the iOS app, if you're viewing custom homepages that contain assets that aren't directly assigned to you, you may see an alert that you can't access the content. Your admin will need to assign this content to you for it to be accessible.

You can share or add any shareable assets on the homepage to your Collections. To do so, click the three dots and select an option.

If you have more than one homepage assigned to you, switch between them by clicking the Home button in the top banner and selecting another homepage from the menu.

Default Home Screen and Spotlight messages

• Spotlight messages are sent by your administrator. You can see up to 14 messages. They scroll automatically if you have multiple messages. Scroll manually through them by using the arrows.
• Spotlight messages can also include external links and links to courses.

Note: If there are no available Spotlight messages, this section will not be visible, and you will only see recommendations.

Recommendations

Underneath the Spotlight messages, you see tiles that show recommended content and coaching materials. Recommendations are fully AI-driven and selected based on your actions within the Showpad platform. You see up to 8 recommendations, a mix of content and coaching materials. The mix of tiles is based on your personal activity and, therefore, can be different than what your colleagues see.

This is what you can discover in these Home Screen tiles:

• New assets or experiences: Anything that was recently published that you haven't seen yet
• Popular assets or experiences: Highly viewed assets over their lifetime that were not used yet
• Trending assets: Highly viewed assets in the last 30 days
• Updated assets: Regularly used assets that have been updated
• Discover assets: Assets that are similar to other popular assets you've already viewed  
• Top Rated: Top scored PitchIQs
• Coaching recommendations will take into account:
  • Due courses: Uncompleted required courses that are due soon
  • Uncompleted elective courses: Uncompleted elective courses assigned to you
  • Popular elective courses: Elective courses that other users have taken

Searching

Searching for content and training materials is also a great feature on the Home Screen. The search bar is located in the top middle of your home screen.
