Basic concepts
What banner management is
From Content (CMS) › Banners you decide which promotional image the visitor sees, in which part of the portal, in which position and during which dates. The banner appears and disappears automatically according to its visibility period.
A banner = image + destination + scheduleEach banner has one image for desktop and another for mobile, a link or a PDF that the click leads to, and a "Visible from… to…" period.
| Concept | What it determines |
|---|---|
| Module | Section of the portal where it is shown: Home, Offers or Pages. |
| Page | Specific page of the portal (for example, Services or Legal notice) when the banner does not go to a general module. |
| Position | Top or Bottom within the page. |
| Order | Priority among banners that share a location. |
| Active | Manual switch: with "No", the banner is not published even if it is within its dates. |

Guidelines
Best practices
Descriptive titles
The title is the alternative text: describe the image ("Summer offer in the Canary Islands") instead of "Banner 1".
Prepare both images
Use a specific version for mobile; a scaled-down desktop image usually looks illegible.
Schedule, don't delete
Let the expiration date remove the banner and use Active = No to pause it.
Safe drafts
Create the banner with Active = No, review it and activate it when it's ready.
Before publishing
- Descriptive title and desktop and mobile images selected.
- The link or PDF opens the correct destination.
- The Visibility dates include today's date if you want it to be visible now.
- Module, Page and Position match the desired location.
- Active is set to "Yes".
Support
Common issues
The banner does not appear on the website.Check that Active is set to "Yes" (the crossed-out eye should not appear in the list), that today falls within From and Expires, and that the Module or Page are correct.
I can't save: "This field is required."Complete Title, Image and Mobile image, which are required.
I can't find the image in My Files.Upload it first from Files in the side menu and open the selector again.
The search box shows no results.Clear the text in Search: the filter remains applied even if you change pages.
Still not working?Contact your usual Pipeline Software support channel and provide the banner title, its number (#) and a screenshot.
