How to create and manage scheduled homepages – Oak Digital Workplace

Scheduled homepages let you control who sees which version of a homepage, and when. They work for your main business homepage and for any area homepage.

For example, you could show new starters a different homepage in their first few weeks, or prepare a homepage for a big event and schedule it to go live on the day.

This guide will walk you through creating a scheduled homepage and choosing when, to whom and on which devices it shows.

Before you start:

You must be assigned a Homepage Manager for the area.
The area must already have a published homepage in order to create scheduled homepages.
Check who has permission to view the area's content, as this affects who can see its homepages.

Creating a scheduled homepage

On the published homepage, go to the Page Options (three vertical dots in the top-right corner) and select Manage homepages.
Select Create a scheduled homepage. To quickly clone your existing homepage, select the three horizontal dots next to it and duplicate.

Choose a template, or clone an existing homepage. Cloning saves time if you only need to make a few changes.
The homepage will open in edit mode. Make your changes. You can select Save and exit to come back to it later.
Select Publish. You'll be taken to the Homepage Manager page.

Choosing when, who and which devices

New scheduled homepages appear at the bottom of the Inactive scheduled homepages list.
Select the name already provided and type a new name.
Select All the time to choose when the homepage should show, then select OK.
Select No one to choose who should see it. Make your choice in the object picker and select Confirm. Once an audience is chosen, the scheduled homepage becomes active.
To show it on certain devices only, select Any device type and choose the device types.
Review your settings and select Save.

Considerations, tips & guidance

Order matters: you can have as many scheduled homepages as you like. If someone is in the audience for two at the same time, they'll see the one highest in the list.
Think mobile: if many of your people use the mobile app, a scheduled homepage built on the single-column template gives them a better experience. See How to optimise your homepages for the mobile app.
