The Add Block window lets you add Chart, Custom Content, and Data Set List blocks to a Hub's Summary page.
Chart blocks let you display information in a visual format such as bars in a bar chart, lines in a line chart, or slices in a pie chart.
Custom Content blocks offer a wide range of possibilities for displaying diverse information. They let you embed source codes, display images, add links, and utilize formatting options to effectively communicate important details such as internal policies, holiday schedules, tax changes, and more.
Data Set List blocks show data set information. This information can be anything in your system captured by a simple query and uploaded into J1 Web as a data set. For example, you may show a list of all available courses, recipients with missing or invalid contact information, enrolled students graduating in the upcoming term, etc.
To manage blocks, a user must belong to a module role with the Can manage blocks permission available and enabled. These are typically module manager and administrator-level roles.
There are no unique roles and permissions required to view blocks. Users only need to belong to a module role. For example, to see blocks on the Employee Hub's Summary page, users must belong to an Employee role.
For Chart and Data Set List blocks, users can only see information in the block when a data set they have permission to is selected. For example, if a user doesn't belong to a role with access to the course catalog data set and that's the one the block is configured to use, the block will appear blank.
