How to set up your public website

You can make changes to your public website by choosing Settings from the top of the dashboard and selecting the Public website link from the left-hand side.

The easiest way of viewing any changes you have made is to have two browsers open. For example, Chrome and Internet Explorer. You would then need to log in to the dashboard on one of these browsers as an administrator and use the other browser to view the public website from a customer point of view. (Note: You will not be able to view both at the same time when using the same internet browser). Make the changes in the dashboard and refresh the view as a customer to see any changes as you go.

The main page will present you with some of the general settings that you can change such as:

Activate the public website - this will force customers to login to the new public website.
Hide the site name banner - hide the banner showing the site name on all pages.
Activity view selection option - choose how to display the activity views with individual buttons for each view or a drop down list of options.
