What are Callouts?
Callouts are visual bookmarks that are displayed with a title, image, description and optional links. Callouts are displayed in a row on a landing page. Callouts can be used to highlight programs, sections of your website, or a set of services. Each row of callouts may consist of up to 4 boxes. The number of Callouts and theme selected will determine how the row of callouts are displayed on the landing page. 
 
From the Callouts tile you can:
 
  • Create new Callouts.
  • Edit or delete existing Callouts.
  • Search for existing Callouts.
  • Navigate to an existing Callout’s front-end view.
