Editing your start page: “body”

This is where you should describe your project

The same text feeds both the start page and the ”details” page…

… but only the first few lines are displayed on the start page, so edit them wisely!

Unless you’re an HTML enthusiast, the WYSIWYG text format is recommended

Editing your start page (cont.)The ”slider module” is the business card of your project– a short text + an appropriate image (optimal size: 710*320 pixels)

Once you have entered a text and an image, the portal administrator may promote this to the portal homepage to offer maximum visibility to your project

WARNING: The ”book outline” should normally not be modified for the start page of your project!

The results block is where all finalised, approved deliverables of your project should be published (they will then appear in the ”results” column of the ”details” page)

Note: This feature is still under development (currently it is not possible to supply links to your deliverables)
