Trending Topics Block
Designed to be used on the homepage, insights landing page, or in a mega menu, this component provides an overview of the globally-defined trending topics along with their designated featured/latest insights.
How It Works
- The Trending Topics category assignments from Site Settings determine what content displays.
- For each trending topic assignment (max of 4 at a time), the associated Insights Listing Page is linked up and used for grabbing manually-curated Featured Insights and/or the latest insights content.
Block Properties
|
Display Type * |
Two possible displays:
|
|---|---|
|
Heading Override |
Optional override of the default H2 heading. By default, the text is set to "Trending" and can be managed globally through Localization. |
|
Max Items Shown * |
Required; determines the max number of insights cards to show at a time. |

Button Link |
Optional manually-curated link to view all insights (the recommendation is to link to the "All" insights listing page). NOTE: The button link is only used in the Simple display. |
Assign the block to a one-column row in the Content Blocks (grid builder) area on a page or in a Mega Menu Block for the main navigation.
