4.4.4 Creating a workspace banner

Every folder page has a header consisting of several lines (cf. 3.1). By default, the space below the navigation bar is empty, as shown in figure 4.4-1.

You may insert a banner into this space:

  • Choose  File    Change    Banner .
  • In the ‘Change Banner’ form, specify the banner as HTML text (with links to pictures etc.). With some more recent Web browsers (e.g. Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer 6.0 and up) you enter and edit the banner using an HTML editor that has been integrated into BSCW (cf. also 4.3.3).

With a banner, the header of a workspace and the folders contained might look like shown in figure 4.4-2.

The banner is ‘inherited’ by subfolders unless you define a new banner there or

  • choose action menu   Change    Banner , clear the banner and confirm with [OK]. Now the banner is empty again.
