Considerations for the 2016 releases…

21

•  For the January release, revisit your User Defined Fields and leverage new dependency and multi-selection options.

•  “Home page” web text moves to the “Site Home”

•  NEW! Separate “Site Home” for Guests and Web Users

•  Have another look at your Web Text. Does it still make sense? Is it still necessary? Does it enhance your user’s experience or provide context?

•  Branding and customization process will be easier.
