The Empuls homepage is the first screen every employee sees after signing in. Out of the box it shows a recommended feed plus quick links to the most-used features. The DIY homepage editor lets you replace or augment that default with your own layout — banners, announcements, leaderboard widgets, custom shortcuts — and target different templates to different audiences.

Before you start
- You must be a Super Admin to create or publish homepage templates.
- Templates target audiences using the same filter syntax as budgets — by department, location, grade, or business unit.
- Test templates with a small group first; publishing to everyone immediately is hard to roll back gracefully.
Block library
The editor uses a block library. Each block is a self-contained widget you can drag onto the layout:| Block | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Banner | Full-width hero image with optional link |
| Spotlight carousel | Rotating featured posts or programs |
| Feed | Embedded feed (Townhall, a specific group, or recommended) |
| Leaderboard | Top performers from a chosen leaderboard |
| Wishboard preview | Today’s birthdays and anniversaries |
| Quick links | Custom shortcut tiles |
| Reward points balance | Employee’s current balance plus a Redeem CTA |
| Survey card | Active surveys awaiting response |
| Pending approvals | Approval queue for managers and admins |
| Custom HTML | Free-form HTML/Markdown block (Super Admin only) |
| Image grid | Curated images linking to internal or external URLs |
Create a template
Open the DIY Homepage editor
Navigate to Admin Hub → Platform Settings → Edit Homepage, or open it directly.
Pick a layout
Start from blank or fork an existing template. Layout grids range from 1-column to a 3-column with header/footer.
Drag blocks onto the canvas
Configure each block as you drop it. The block’s edit panel appears on the right.
Set audience
On the Audience tab, define who sees this template. Default is everyone; narrow by department, location, grade, business unit, or specific users.
Preview
Preview the template in employee mode. Switch to a target user’s profile to see exactly what they would see.
Audience targeting and precedence
Multiple templates can match the same employee. Empuls picks the most specific:- Templates targeting specific users
- Templates targeting a single attribute (department, location, grade)
- Templates targeting multiple attributes (intersection)
- The default template (audience: everyone)
DIY user list
Thehttps://<your-empuls-url>/home/diy-user-list page shows every user and the template currently assigned to them. Use it to verify your audience filters are pulling the right employees before going live.
Edit a live template
Edits apply immediately on publish. Employees see the new layout on their next page load.Limits and gotchas
- The Custom HTML block has no preview before publish. Test in a draft on yourself first.
- The Feed block always respects the user’s own feed permissions — a private group won’t show up for users not in it.
- Templates targeting deleted entities (a department that was removed from org structure) fall through to the next-most-specific match.
