2. Onclick, you will see a Tile sample component in the left panel.

 

Select xxx - Tile (according to your entity).

 

It is important to select the one that corresponds to your Space, as the content will be pre-tagged and correctly stored in your Space folder.

 

3. Drag and drop xxx - Tile list to the place of your choice in your space dashboard.

If you get an error message, you probably double-clicked the concerned item or uses the "Green" button, instead of drag'n dropping the item to the expected location.


4. A pop-in appears.

 

Enter the title for the Tile in the "Content Title" field.

This "Title" value is not displayed to the visitors, it can be considered as a file name, viewable only by contributors while browsing Tridion content.
