The Dataverse Network Project

By default your Network homepage has the following description: There are no network announcements. You can edit that text to describe or announce such things as new Network features, new dataverses, or maintenance activities. You also can disable the description to not display on the homepage.

To disable or edit the content of the Network description:

1. Log in and navigate to the Network homepage.
2. Click Network Options, scroll to Network Settings, and then click Edit Description.
   You see the Network Homepage Description page.
3. To disable any description on the Network homepage, remove the check from the Enable Description in Homepage option.
   To enable the description on the homepage, check this option.
4. Enter your text in the field provided.
   You can add to or remove existing announcements at any time.
   Note: A light blue background in any form field indicates HTML, JavaScript, and style tags are permitted. The html and body element types are not allowed.
5. Click Save to keep your changes, or click Cancel to lose your changes.
   The Network homepage description is displayed at the right side of the Network page.
   If a dataverse is set up with a description, that customization is displayed when you navigate to that dataverse.
