Virtual Notice Boards

A virtual notice board can be created using the multipage element, labels and images.

What is a multipage?  

The multipage element allows you to create moving sections  within a  page design and make the most of screen real  estate. In other words it is an element that can contains  multiple pages which can slide or fade out. You can use as many  multipage elements on a page design as you wish.

A multipage element will usually contain more than 1 page  within it and there is no limit to the amount of pages you can  have on a multipage.

If there is only one page on a multipage element it will  remain static on the page, movement occurs when more than 1 page  is added and a slide/fade animation is set to each page.

Useful Icons: 

Cog -  used to edit a design element (multipage, label, image etc)

Copy - used to duplicate a design element

 Layering arrows - used to layer design elements behind or on top of each other
