A list needs to be set up in the Site with the following columns:

 

 

Each item in the Tiles list determines the behavior of a Tile. Each tile shows the count of the number of items in a view on a list in the site. The Tile draws its data from the view that is designated in the OpSite, OpList, OpView settings.

 

 

The settings below determine how the Tile looks and functions.

 

Header Text -- the text of the header (top portion of the tile). Usually the name of the view specified in OpView, but does not have to be.

Body Text -- {0} is put here as a placeholder for the number of items in the view specified in OpView

Header Navigation URL -- the URL when the Header is clicked. Often, the same as the Body Navigation URL

Body Navigation URL -- The URL to the view specified in OpView. Clicking the body opens the view up to show all the items in the view.

Header Open In Windows? -- Determines if the Header Navigation URL opens in a new window or not

Body Open In Windows? -- Determines if the Body Navigation URL opens in a new window or not

OpSite, OpList, OpView -- the names of the Site, List, and View that the Tile gets its data from

Header Font Color -- the color (in Hex) of the Header Text

Header Background Color -- the color (in Hex) of the Header background

Body Font Color -- the color (in Hex) of the Body Text

Body Background Color -- the color (in Hex) of the Body background
