Homepages
Overview
The Homepage is the landing page that users see when they log in to your platform. It can be configured by users with the Ecosystem Administrator role and is designed to highlight featured content, showcase key data products and assets, and provide quick access to popular or new items on the Exchange.
Your homepage can include featured messaging, selected content, images, and call-to-action sections that guide users toward engagement.
Assigning Homepages
Eco admin role has permission to create and manage homepages:
A Homepages menu item is visible in the eco admin area
The Homepages menu item navigates to a list of all homepages within the ecosystem
Any eco admin can open, edit and publish changes to any homepage.
To ensure that an organization is directed immediately to your homepage, you can assign it from either of the following locations:
During creation – select one or more organizations in the Create Homepage form.
From an existing homepage – click Edit Organizations from the homepage settings.
Note: A single organization cannot be allocated to more than one homepage.
If no homepage is configured for a specific organization, users in that organization will default to the Exchange view.
Visibility
As a user viewing the homepage, in addition to the content published, user-level visibility applies:
The user only sees the products that are visible to them
For recently updated and recently added product sections, the user sees the top X (limit set in manage config) products displayed, but only those that are visible to them
The user only sees the assets that are visible to them
Homepage Builder
Ecosystem Administrators can now use a form-style Page Builder to structure and populate homepages, replacing the previous JSON editor. It is accessed in the ‘Homepages Tab’ of the Ecosystem Administrator view.
The Page Builder provides an intuitive interface to add, reorder, and preview homepage sections in real time. A live preview pane is available on the right-hand side, allowing you to see updates before publishing. You can also use the ‘Preview’ button to access a pop-up screen view before publishing.
The only requirement to publish the page that the form validates is to provide a homepage name
The only section that exists by default is the hero section: the user can decide the order of all sections by selecting an order number, with the exception of the hero section - which is fixed as 1
Available Section Types
You can add the following section types to your homepage:
Section Type | Description |
|---|---|
Selected Products | Highlight specific products, each linking to its individual product page. |
Recently Added Products | Display products that were most recently added to the Exchange. |
Recently Updated Products | Display products with the most recent releases or data refreshes. |
Selected Assets | Highlight specific assets, each linking to My Collection. |
Selected Categories and Tags | Display categories or tags that link to their corresponding pages on the Exchange. |
Call to Action | Add a block containing an image, text, and button to encourage user action (e.g., “Explore the Exchange”). |
The Recently Added and Recently Updated sections are dynamic, driven by product release and update timestamps.
Homepage Search
A new search toggle is available for the homepage’s hero section. When search is enabled, a search input appears that allows users to find products directly from the homepage.
When search is turned on, users can search by the following parameters:
Product name
Product ID
Product description
Product headline
Product metadata
As users type, the homepage displays:
The total number of matching products
A sample of the matching results
Users can then:
Click a listed product to navigate directly to its product page
Or click View all results on the Exchange, which applies a product ID filter to the Exchange view (this can be cleared at any time).
Example Homepage
A data marketplace administrator wants users from the Finance Organization to see a curated homepage highlighting top-performing data products and new releases.
They create a homepage featuring:
A Call to Action banner with “Explore New Finance Data Sets”
A Recently Updated Products section to surface the latest refreshed content
A Selected Categories section linking to Finance, Risk, and Treasury tags
Once published and assigned to the Finance Organization, all members of that org will land on this homepage when logging in.
