Displaying Banner Images on the Workbench Home Page

An administrator can configure rotating images to display randomly on the Workbench Home Page.

1. Navigate to the Administration cabinet and right-click the DTDs folder, then select File > New Folder.
2. In the Name field, enter Banner.
   Enter the name exactly, including the initial cap.
3. Provide an optional Description.
   For example, Graphics randomly displayed on the Home page in the Workbench Browse view.
4. In the Type field, select Graphics.
5. Move the new folder to be a first-level folder in the Administration cabinet by dragging and dropping the Banner folder onto the Administration cabinet.
6. Issue the File > Import File command to import the desired image files into the Banner folder.
7. Issue the Administration > Set Global Messages command to edit the Global Homepage Message by inserting this HTML fragment:

   <center>
   <b>HI THERE</b><br/>
   <img width="800" src="/ier/astoria?operation=fetchBanner"/>
   </center>

   Note: The word astoria may be different, depending upon how Astoria was installed.
8. Click OK.
9. To verify that your changes function properly, display your Workbench Home Page in a browser by clicking in the toolbar of the Browse view.
   The Home Page displays an image. Clicking again displays a different image.
