This document explains how MediaValet adminstrators can configure and use their custom homepage.
Before you begin:
- You must have an Administrator role in MediaValet.
- If you do not see the Home tab in your library, contact your MediaValet Customer Success Manager to request access.
Step 1: Understand the Custom Homepage Layout
The custom homepage replaces the generic “recently uploaded assets” view with a curated, role-based experience. Different user types (e.g., Sales, HR, Contributors, Admins) can see content tailored to their needs, helping new users orient themselves and frequent users quickly find key assets.
The “recently uploaded assets” is still available. To find it, simply go to your Library tab.
Step 2: Edit the Organization-Wide Welcome Message
As an administrator, you can customize the welcome message that appears at the top of the homepage for your entire organization. Click the pencil icon next to the welcome title to edit the text. You can also add or update the description that appears beneath the title.
After making your changes, remove or edit any text, then click Apply to save and update the welcome message for all users.
Step 3: Configure the Featured Resources Section for User Groups
The Featured Resources section is a powerful area where admins can highlight specific categories and saved searches for different user groups. These featured items help users quickly access the most relevant content.
To select featured categories:
1. Click the dropdown menu under Manage, then select Featured Categories.
In the Featured Categories configuration:
1. Move to the right-hand panel and click the pin icon to pin any category to a specific user groups.
2. On the right, choose Pin to user groups, and add the selected category to the user group of your choice.
3. You can pin categories to groups using the sliders, or pin to all by selecting the dropdown menu.
4. Click Save.
Step 4: Feature Saved Searches for User Groups
You can also feature saved searches in the same way as categories.
1. From the homepage, go to Featured Saved Searches under the Manage dropdown.
2. Select the saved searches you want to feature, then pin them to the appropriate user groups as needed.
Step 5: Use the My Favorites Section (Pinned Categories and Searches)
The My Favorites section is an area individual users can configure themselves.
To pin a favorite category:
1. Go to Explore Categories.
2. Locate a category you would like to pin
3. Click the pin icon to pin this category to yourself.
Once a category is pinned, not only will you see the category under My Favorites in Home, but you will see it pinned to the top in the Library tab.
In the Library tab, you’ll see three sections:
- Most Viewed categories
- Recently Uploaded categories
- A new Pinned Categories section
- The Pinned Categories section can be hidden or expanded as needed.
- From Pinned Categories, you can unpin any category you pinned yourself.
Note: If a category (such as Logos) is pinned and configured at the homepage level by an admin, you may not be able to unpin it from your personal view.
Step 6: Pin Saved Searches to My Favorites
You can also pin saved searches so they appear under My Favorites.
1. Navigate to Saved Searches under the Advanced Search tab.
2. Review the available saved searches
3. Click the pin icon next to the saved search you want to add
4. Return to the homepage and confirm that the pinned saved search appears under the Saved Searches area in My Favorites.
In your Advanced Search tab, any saved searched pinned by your admin will be represented by a light grey pin icon.
Step 7: The Automatic Sections: “Pick up where you left off”
Pick up where you left off requires no configuration and work automatically:
• Shows each user’s last visited categories, assets, and collections.
• Helps users quickly return to active work without re-navigating the library.
Step 8: Configure the Useful Links Section
The Useful Links section at the top of the homepage is curated for the entire organization. Use it to surface frequently needed URLs such as your corporate site, brand center, or documentation.
- On the homepage, click the Add Links button.
2. Add a new link:
• Enter a Title (for example, “MediaValet Homepage”).
• Enter a Description and URL.
• Click Save.
Reorder links by dragging and moving them into the desired order.
