Creating Callouts

There are 2 steps to creating callouts and adding them to your site, the first is to create the callout itself in the Dashboard area, then you will need to add the callout to your landing page.

To create a callout:

1. From the Dashboard, click Callouts
2. Click Add Callout, then in the window that opens, complete the fields as needed:
   1. Title -  add a title for the callout
      1. This title is for administrative purposes and will be the name that appears in the list of callouts on your dashboard
   2. Language - select the appropriate language value from the list
   3. Click the Add Callout button just below the language field, a section will appear to add the details for a single callout block
      1. Title - this is the title for the callout block
      2. Image - click the button to browse for and select existing image or upload a new image that will be displayed within the callout block
         
         1. Depending on the size, images can be cropped to better fit the display space, to crop the image once it has been selected:
            1. Click the Crop Image drop-down
               
               1. Select the most appropriate aspect ratio, a box will appear over the image indicating how it will be displayed, if further editing is required:
                  
                  1. Click and drag the edges of the box to crop the image further if needed
                  2. Click and drag the box to reposition it over the image area to display, if the full image cannot be displayed
                  3. Click Reset Crop to cancel and changes and return the image to the default settings
      3. Link - add a URL to this field, users will be directed to this url when the title or image is clicked
      4. Description - add if needed
         1. Tip: the description will appear below the image, consider keeping this short and concise, especially if adding multiple callout blocks
      5. Additional Links - click the Add Link button if additional links are required, add the appropriate URL and Link Text as needed
3. Click Add Callouts button below the Additional Links fields to add more callout blocks and repeat the steps above as needed
   1. You can create up to 4 blocks within each row of callouts
4. Review and configure the Publishing workflow as needed

Once a callout has been created, it can be added to your Stacks site; see the article Adding Content to  Landing Pages for more information.
