Brightspot CMS User Guide

Creating a hat


A hat is a consistent piece of content that appears above a header. Hats are typically very brief messages.

Hats follow the rules of content hierarchy. If you define a hat at the global level, it flows to the site level, then the section level, and finally the asset level.

If you do not want the hat to to be inherited, you may select a different hat using the procedure below.

The following image shows how Brightspot renders a hat.
