Push Publishing
With the optional Push Publishing feature, the dashboard has the ability to push updates to the user
whilst still allowing them full control to customize their dashboard.
When the feature is enabled, a control panel is dispayed when the dashboard is being edited by the
administrator. When the dashboard has been modified, it is possible to either:
Publish the updates to all users
●
Reset the dashboard to the previously published version
●
Leave the published version in it's current state and publish the updates at a later date
●
When each user next visits their dashboard the updates will appear from them. Each user has the
option to accept the updates selectively, always accept the updates or always decline the updates. It
is also possible, using the NPD Manager, to set which of these three options is the default.
The following changes are handled by push publishing:
New widgets
●
New tabs
●
New theme
●
Changes to the page title
●
All updates to Customize section of the Settings.
●
Please note that editing an existing widget or tab (e.g. repositioning, changing the title or the
preferences) is not handled by push publishing and these changes will only be seen by new users.
This is to avoid conflicts with edits users have made to their own dashboards.
