Creating Custom Content

Home

The home screen in the Custom Content section will list all the created sections containing custom content for that event.

Details

Clicking on any of the items in the list on the home screen will take you through to the details of that custom content. From here, you can view all the sections that have been added to that content, view what they look like, edit, delete and add further sections.

Create

Click the ‘Create New Custom Content’ button.

Give this Custom Content a name and description – please be aware, that the name you give this will appear in the ‘App Features’ when configuring your Event Brand.

You will then need to begin by adding a section.  In the mobile app, this will appear as a sub menu when the guest clicks on the custom content from the menu (e.g. Travel Guides) they will then be presented with a list of content sections (e.g. Public Transport, Eating Out, Bars, Local Info etc.).  Click ‘Add Section’.

You will then be presented with a choice as to the type of content you want to create.

Create from a file

When you click on ‘File’ you will see the pop-out expand for a form to complete.

Create as HMTL Content

• Description – This field will be used as the subheading information in the mobile app to give context to the section for the guest.

• Content – This is a WYSIWYG content creator. You can type or copy content into here and style using the formatting options available. Alternatively, you can click the button and you can either type or paste in HTML code into this section and when you click the  button again you will see the content you’ve created using HTML code.

Top Tip!

You can use websites like https://wordtohtml.net/ or https://wordhtml.com/ to copy and paste your word document into so you can get the HTML code from to copy and paste into the editor and Microsoft Word adds unusual formatting to display in mobile apps.
