After signing in on Showpad's Web app, Windows Desktop, or an Android/iOS device, you are welcomed by a Home Screen with important information and recommendations. Your admin may choose to create a Custom Homepage for you, in which you will see content, experiences, Pages, and more, curated by your admin. Otherwise, you will see the standard Home screen which will include Spotlight messages at the top are sent by your admin and highlight important announcements about updated content and recently published coaching materials.
When using the Windows Desktop or Web app, you'll find a section with recommended content or coaching materials beneath these Spotlight messages. The tiles you see are specifically suggested for you and are based on things like recently published content, pieces you frequently view, and other popular content. On the Android app, you will see your Showpad Experiences under the Spotlights.
Note: The Home Screen is currently available on Showpad's Android, iOS, Windows Desktop, and Web apps. Other mobile apps will receive this feature later.
