If you have an Atlas version earlier than 5.0 please refer to this article instead: In Focus web parts
If you have an Atlas version from 4.0 to 4.3 and need specific functionality you could consider the PREVIEW web parts if suggested by the Clearpeople team: In Focus Everywhere (Atlas 4.0 - 4.3)
The "In Focus Everywhere PREVIEW" web parts from Atlas versions 4.0 - 4.3 have been promoted to the default in Atlas 5.0, and renamed to simply "In Focus". The previous "In Focus" web part is still available, renamed to "In Focus (Legacy)".
This article is about the new web parts in version 5.0 specifically, which have received many updates since the "Preview" versions in Atlas 4.3 or earlier. If you have any questions about this please get in touch with our support team.
To learn how to switch a legacy web part to the new version, please see here: Replace a legacy In Focus web part with the new version (Atlas 5.0+)

Introduction to In Focus web parts
The In Focus web part allows you to pull a variety of Atlas content into your page. Content shown in the In Focus web part can be refined by the user using the In Focus Filters web part, otherwise it will show all content relevant to tags applied to the current page.
Below you can see a page configured with an In Focus web part, In Focus Verticals, In Focus Filters web part and In Focus Search Box web part connected together:
For most types of content, each item returned in the web part displays a card with an image, title, date and a small banner noting the type of content, e.g. News, Events, Knowledge. There are a couple of item styles designed only for specific content types, such as People which is used for the People Directory.
Depending on your Atlas version you will have access to a number of additional layouts and item styles which we continue to add to as needed as we develop the product.
To view an item or article from an In Focus web part you can usually just click anywhere on the item to navigate to it. Additionally, cards may include a "quick actions" menu giving quick access to the source library and more, depending on the configuration.
Pre-configured In Focus web parts
Atlas allows you to use the In Focus web part to pull in content matching your requirements, but we also provide pre-configured web parts for Atlas content types with default filtering applied. All these web parts can be found by searching "atlas" when adding a web part to a page:
- Communication In Focus (pre-filtered to Communications content)
- Documents (pre-filtered to Documents)
- Emails (pre-filtered to Emails - only those that were uploaded to Atlas)
- Events (pre-filtered to Events)
- External Insights (pre-filtered to External Insights)
- FAQs (pre-filtered to FAQs)
- Knowledge In Focus (pre-filtered to Knowledge content)
- Knowledge Pages (pre-filtered to Knowledge Pages without Documents)
- Landing Pages (pre-filtered to Landing Pages)
- Location Pages (pre-filtered to Location Pages)
- News (pre-filtered to News Pages)
- People Directory (pre-filtered to People from your Azure AD)
- Spotlights (pre-filtered to Spotlights)
- Useful Links In Focus (pre-filtered to Useful Links).
Please note that the above articles cover many versions of Atlas and are not specific to Atlas 5.0.
Pre-configured In Focus Filters web parts
You can pair any In Focus Filters web part with any In Focus web part to filter the results, but you generally want to use the In Focus Filters web part that best matches the content you will show. So if you'll be showing Documents, add the Documents Filters web part.
- Communication In Focus Filters
- Documents Filters
- Email Filters
- Events Filters
- External Insights Filters
- FAQs Filters
- Knowledge In Focus Filters
- Knowledge Pages Filters
- Landing Pages Filters
- Location Pages Filters
- News Filters
- People Directory Filters
- Spotlights Filters.

Layouts for In Focus web parts
The following article provides more information and visual examples of the available layouts: Layouts and Item Styles for In Focus web parts
Placeholder Imagery for In Focus tiles
The imagery or preview for each tile is determined by the content being returned.
Pages, Events, External Insights and Spotlights will show the thumbnail or main page image used in that content. Documents supported by M365 (Office, PDF, Email) will show a preview of the document.
For content where the image cannot be loaded for some reason or does not exist, the image will be replaced with a placeholder, for example:
Where content is not assigned a valid Atlas content type, the "unknown type" imagery will be used:
Change placeholder imagery
To change these default and unknown type images, you'll need at least Member permissions to the Atlas Configuration workspace.
- Go to the Atlas Configuration workspace
- Click Atlas Assets in the left-hand navigation menu
- Open the Placeholders folder
- Check out the image you want to replace
- Upload your replacement image with the same filename and overwrite the existing image
- Publish the image.
Additional configuration
If the pre-configured web parts do not meet your specific requirement you can either apply additional configuration from the linked article to meet your requirement, or instead add the basic In Focus and In Focus Filters web parts and configure them as needed.
For a full explanation of all configuration options and how to configure them, please see the full article here: Configuration for In Focus web parts (Atlas 5.0+)
Quick Add It
Any In Focus web part can be configured with Quick Add It to allow content to be added directly from the web part without leaving the current page. Learn more: Quick Add It
