Customize and Schedule Content for Board Slots

Boards contain multiple slots in them where each slot has its own layout and data source. You can Pin any slot within the Board at any point of time. Once you Pin a slot its data resource will remain the same even after you regenerate the data source of the Board.

In order to customize the Slot if you want to change its layout then:

  1. Click on the Slot which you want to change layout to
  2. Click on Replace Slot
  3. Select the Template
  4. Click on Save

Custom slot contents allow editors to really control how their boards look, even while maintaining the ability to add content automatically to it over time.
