What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Meeting Types

Webex offers a variety of collaboration options. But when should you use a Webex Personal Room meeting, a standard scheduled meeting, or a space meeting?

Personal Room Meeting

A Personal Room Meetings uses the traditional dial-in bridge conference that you can schedule and invite via Outlook. Personal Room Meetings are great for back-to-back meetings. With Personal Room Meetings, the meeting host can remain in one meeting room for several meetings and have attendees join at different times.

  • Hosting: Anyone in the space can start the meeting by clicking the Meet button.
  • Scheduling: Click the Meetings tab to create a calendar invite and have the email addresses of everyone in the space added automatically.
  • Joining: Anyone invited to a space meeting may immediately join the meeting.

Space Meeting

Space meetings are meant to be more impromptu and informal. You can schedule a meeting with everyone in your space directly from the space. A space meeting is an easy way to meet either when you decide to have an ad-hoc meeting or regular team meetings.

  • Hosting: Anyone in the space can start the meeting by clicking the Meet button.
  • Scheduling: Click the Meetings tab to create a calendar invite and have the email addresses of everyone in the space added automatically.
  • Joining: Anyone invited to a space meeting may immediately join the meeting.

Scheduled Meeting

A scheduled meeting is a traditional Webex meeting that has a unique URL issued for each new meeting. This type of meeting is ideal for meetings that need to be scheduled in advance or are recurring.

  • Hosting: The host or predetermined cohost(s) can start the meeting. Selecting a cohost when scheduling the meeting is only available for Conference Upgrade users.
  • Scheduling: Unique URLs are issued for each new meeting to share in meeting invites.
  • Joining: Attendees can join up to 15 minutes before the meeting starts via your dedicated meeting link.
