  • Choose another folder of content from the CMS400.NET to display in the widget.
  1. Click the Edit button () on the widget.
  2. Click the Folder tab.
  3. Choose another folder and click Save. The contents of the selected folder are displayed. For example, choose Root > Content > Company > Announcements and see the results.

Important: There are 2 Announcements folders in the default eIntranet CMS400.NET. The Forums> Announcements folder displays only items with a content type of Discussion Topic by default. If you change the folder to Company > Announcements the items will not display on the home page because the items in that folder are a different content type. To display the contents of the Company > Announcements folder, click the Properties tab, and choose AllTypes on the Content Type drop down menu.
