Accordion Tile Configuration 2.0
Before You Start
If you plan to use your own images to the Accordion Tile you may want to upload those to your community before you get started.
To add custom icon images for the tile, click the gear icon in the upper right corner of the place you are working.
Click Static resources or Image Files (depending on your Jive version)
Click Upload a File and select the image(s) you want to use in the accordion. When using a custom icon, we suggest uploading a 40x40px icon. If your icon is a bit larger, don't worry; it will be resized.
You will need image URLs generated by Jive to add custom icon images to the accordion tile. Once you upload all images, copy the URL to your clipboard and then paste into the custom icon URL field in the slide’s configuration view.
Configuring the Accordion Tile
To access the tile’s configuration panel for editing in the future, click the gear icon in the upper right corner of the tile.
You are now ready to configure the tile.
