To Use the Add-in:

Navigate to SubSite Tiles by SmartData in Site Contents to add to Add-in to the site. The Add-in uses Search to automatically generate the most recent array of the site and all of the subsites immediately below that site. It can then be added up anyone with Edit permissions to any page.

Key Features:

Security trimmed: Display of site will be security trimmed and will only display sites where the current user has a minimum of ‘View’ permission.
Touch-friendly Navigation: The SubSite Tile display provides ‘Touch-friendly’ Tile images as navigation by providing hyperlinks to the sites that are shown.
Site Usage Information: Hover over a Tile image to display a description.

Optional: To Change the Tile Images

You will need to access the Tile Images library to make changes to tile images (Requires Site Collection Admin rights).

Select the link ‘Edit Images,' located at the top of the SubSite Tiles Add-in page. This link takes you directly to the ‘SubSite Tile Library’.
Upload new tile images to use, or replace current images in the library.
Once you have made all changes needed, the Add-in will automatically begin to use the new images in the library. Tile images are assigned to each subsite in the map based on 1) Site Level (top site level will be “Tile A”) and then 2) Alphabetically (i.e., Level 2, first tile working left to right will be “Tile B” then “Tile C”). Note: It is recommended that images be named in such a way that an Alphabetical sort will preserve the desired order of the Tiles as described.
