Service Portal 6 blocks options

[Bogdan18]

Hi guys,

I just started to play around with the new Service Portal and I find it more difficult to work with than the old CMS version. I know, it's not something to be proud of :-).

I've replicated the SC Categories manually because the Clone widget button wasn't working due to a script error "Do not use href="#" in the Service Portal, use href="javascript:void(0)" instead". This cannot be fixed as the script is read-only.

In any case I am trying to get the landing page to look like 6 blocks containing How can we help, Hardware, Software, Office, Departmental Services and one custom block but I only got it to display all of these options as lines. Also when clicking on any of them the new page opens in the default version which is very annoying.

Has anyone already made something similar? I would like something like the below and if the user clicks on any option then the new page will contain only the options inside the category. Am I on the right track by replicating the SC Categories Widget? Should I instead try to clone and modify the Catalog Content Widget instead?

Thanks for any help with this

Bogdan

To get those like 'big buttons' as you pictured below, you'd want to consider using the Icon Link widget. And then you'd choose it as Catalog Item as the type and then the specific catalog item you're referencing, then reference the page, like sc_category or whatever.

Thanks for the reply Allen. I managed to get it to work with the SC Categories widget.
