Placing Items

Changing and Placing your Items always follows a consistent loop of actions. Every time you modify either the content or Schedule of an Item, you must click the Apply Button. When you are satisfied with the Item as it appears in the Pit, you must click the Insert Button.

IN2U will remember the position of an Item while it is in the Pit. The Placement droplist next to the Insert Button displays the Item's current position. If you click the Insert Button, the Item will return to its original position in its Section.

If you would like to change the position of an Item, click on the placement droplist and select the new position in your Section before clicking the Insert Button.

There is a full listing of all Items at the bottom of the Edit Item Page. If you are unsure as to the Placement of an Item, you can consult this list.

Scheduling Events

The Schedule Editor lets you control the days your Item is viewable on your Web site. You can program your Item to display in three general ways.

Persistent

If you would like your Item to always be displayed on your page, change the year value of the "From" and "To" switches to "bigbang" and "eternity". For the purposes of IN2U, "bigbang" is considered to be the beginning of time. Make sure all of the days of the week are turned on too.

Daily

Within the "From" and "To" range, you can make an Item show up on specific days of the week. Check the boxes to the left of the days you would like the Item to be present on your page.

Weekly/Monthly

You can make an Item start on a given day, and expire on another. Change the Day, Month and Year droplists of the From and To switches to the appropriate days. Updates to your page are performed around midnight, US Central Time.

Note: IN2U allows for fairly complex Item Schedule programming. It is a good idea to check your work with the Time Dial after editing an Item's Schedule.

Note: If there is a conflict between the range of viewable dates and the viewable days, your item may not display when expected. If you want to have an Item display on one given day, use the Day, Month and Year droplists, and leave all of the Day switches on.
