The Home page is the central hub of your Cadence event, providing attendees with their first impression and access to key information. In the admin dashboard, you can customize the Home page layout, appearance, and functionality through the Home Menu's Settings tab to create an engaging entry point for your event.
When to use
When setting up a new event
When refreshing your event's appearance
When adding new content tiles to your Home page
When preparing for a live event with countdown features
Some settings only affect the web version of your event and won't change the mobile app experience.
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
Navigate to your event dashboard.
Click on "Home" in the left sidebar menu.
Select the "Settings" tab at the top of the page.
Choose a column layout from the "Columns (Web Only)" dropdown:
Single Column: Displays tiles vertically in one column
Two Columns: Arranges tiles in two side-by-side columns
Single Row: Places tiles horizontally in one row
Two Rows: Organizes tiles in two horizontal rows
Select an alignment option from the "Alignment (Web Only)" dropdown:
Left Aligned: Positions tiles along the left side
Centered: Places tiles in the center of the page
Right Aligned: Aligns tiles along the right side
Configure visual elements by checking or unchecking these options:
Remove Home Tile Overlay: Removes the gray overlay on tiles
Display Scroll bar on Home Tiles: Shows a scroll bar for easier navigation
Removing the tile overlay may affect readability if your tile images have varying colors or contrast.
Set up the countdown timer if desired:
Check "Enable Countdown Timer"
Select either "use event start date" or "use custom date time"
Manage header display by checking "Hide event name, date & location display" if you prefer a cleaner look.
Enable Live Video Tile to automatically display Symphony live streams on the Home page.
This feature works best when Symphony is configured with embedded content, video material, or an RTMP stream.
Adjust background opacity for the web Home screen:
Check "Gradient Slider Adjust Home Screen Opacity"
Use the slider to set the opacity percentage (default is 15%)
Click "Save" to apply your changes.
