Embed Hub

The Embed Hub is like a collage of existing content displayed on the home page of the main client interface for Pyramid Basic Users. Embed Hub templates describe what should be included for Basic users using Embedding. Embed Hubs can contain discoveries, presentations, and URL links.

The Embed Hub is defined by the Admin, but each user can edit their own view of it.

Embed Hub Fields

  • Tabs: Click the relevant tab to open it (orange highlight below).
  • Reset All: Reset all items in the hub to their most recently saved state (yellow arrow below).
  • Rerun Queries: Run all queries in the hub (green arrow below).
  • Edit: Edit the hub template (purple arrow below).

Content Types

The Embed Hub can display the following types of content:

  • URL Widget: A URL loaded in an iframe.
  • Discoveries and Presentations: Discoveries and presentations can be added directly to the hub within their own containers.

Edit the Edit Hub

Click Edit to open the User Hub in edit mode (purple arrow above). Once in edit mode, you can resize and reposition the widgets and containers as needed. A number of functions for editing are made available.
