How to use this site

Personalising your homepage

You can personalise the home page by dragging and dropping blocks and placing them in order of preference. For example, if you want jobs to be nearer the top of the page, just hover over the jobs block and when you see the movement cursor, drag the block to the area where you want it to go.

Hover over the title of a block and the 'double arrow' cursor appears.

 

Click the title of the block with your mouse and hold down the mouse button.
Whilst holding, you can now drag the block to a position you prefer on the home page.

 

Setting your online preferences

If you only want to see the online services that you use regularly on the homepage, then you can select your preferences. Click on the 'edit/view list' tab on the right hand side of the page (under 'Do it online'). Click on the check boxes to select and deselect your preferences then click the 'save changes' tab.

 

You can edit which services you want to see by first clicking 'View all' button.

 

 

 

The full list of services will now appear.  Click the 'edit' button.

Click the boxes next to the services you would like to see each time you visit
the Knowsley homepage, then click 'save changes'.
