Modify Layout

You can modify the layout of links to tools, pages, and URLs that you've added to the Homepage or an organizer page. Behind the scenes, any element that you add to the Homepage or an organizer page is placed in an HTML table. Using the Modify Layout options, you can specify the position of icon labels and text within the table cells. You can also select the number of columns in the table.

  1. From the Homepage or an organizer page, under Customize, click Modify Layout. The Modify Layout of Links on Page screen appears.
