The cover story appears at the top of the dashboard. It is designed to highlight important initiatives in a visually engaging way. It is a large photo with customizable text, linked to any page you specify. Benevity's content resources include ready-to-use images and templates if you need them. Managing cover stories controls what employees see when they land on the dashboard. Use it to promote campaigns and drive participation.
Permissions
Anyone with the dashboard manager user role can manage cover stories.
Managing cover stories
To access the management tool, go to Manage > Content > Manage Cover Stories.
Here, you'll find all the cover stories created for your program. Each cover story row displays a status tag showing whether it is Active, Queued, or Inactive. A colored left-side border also shows the status: green for active, yellow for queued, and grey for inactive.
Employees can only see one cover story at a time. When multiple cover stories apply to the same employee, these rules determine which one appears:
- The cover story with more rules appears first.
- If rules are equal, a cover story with an end date appears before one without an end date.
- If rules are equal and all cover stories have end dates, the shorter lifespan takes priority.
- If lifespans are equal, the cover story with the earlier start date/time appears.
- If start date/times are equal, the cover story created earliest appears.
To create a new cover story, go to Manage > Content > Create Cover Stories.
