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.

To create a hat:

1. Click menu > Admin > Sites & Settings.
2. Select the site for which you want to configure a hat.
3. From the Front-End tab, expand the Layout cluster.
4. Using the following table as a reference, complete the fields as needed.
5. Click Save.

Field	Description
Hat	Choose Select from the list, then, in the second list, choose Create New. Note This second dropdown list is also where you can select and apply an existing hat.
Internal Name	Enter an internal name for this asset. Brightspot uses this name internally, such as in the search panel and recent activity widget. This name is not visible to visitors to your site.
Text	Enter the text that will appear in the hat.
