Sample pages


The Studio sample pages help you design and create your workplace pages. These pages serve as a reference or as a good starting point to build outstanding self-service portals. 

Automatic deployment of sample pages for industry verticals

Sample pages for industry verticals are automatically deployed to your development environment. The deployment is skipped if the sample pages are already present in the environment.

Important

In a Managed Service Provider (MSP) setup, sample pages for industry verticals are deployed only to the tenant company of the hannah_admin user.

If you have modified a sample page and saved it, to bring the page back to its original state, you can either request BMC Support to redeploy them to your development environment or download the zip file package and import it into your environment. 

To download and import the sample pages

The sample pages are also available as a zip file package. Perform the following steps to get the sample pages into your environment.

Before you import

  • In the Admin console, navigate to Configuration Application Features, and enable the Studio (expose pages to end users) option. 
    This option allows end users to see and select custom pages.
  • In the Admin console, navigate to Configuration > Application Features, and enable the Use enhanced catalog section and tile framework option. 
    This option applies numerous framework enhancements and enables the compact tile size option in Studio.
  • In the Admin console, navigate to Configuration > Attachments & Links, and make sure that the zip file type is not in the Blocked list. 
  • In the AR System Administration console, ensure that the value for the Max Attach Size field is greater than the size of the sample pages' zip file. If not, increase the value. 
    For more information about how to set this value, see Setting administrative options.

Import the zip file package

  1. Download the Studio sample pages 22.1.zip file.

    Warning

    Do not uncompress the downloaded zip file before importing it. 

  2. Import the zip file package as is into your environment. For information about how to import the package, see Exporting-and-importing-workplace-studio-pages
    After a successful import, you can see the following sample pages in the Studio:

Best practice
If you have modified a sample page and saved it, you cannot revert to the original state. To bring the original page back, download the zip file package, and reimport it into your environment.

If you want to use a sample page as the starting point, duplicate the page, and work on the copy instead of the original. You can duplicate a page from the page Actions menu. For more information about duplicating pages, see Managing-pages-in-the-Studio

Sample pages included in the package

The following sample pages are provided for seven different industry verticals, two color themes (light and dark), and a collection of reusable content blocks and banners. The content on each vertical's page is customized for different device screen sizes, including desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Important

  • Depending on the version of BMC Helix Digital Workplace you are on, the sample pages might appear different after you have imported them into your environment. 
  • The catalog sections in the sample pages are placeholders that you can update after importing the pages.
