To build your own rotator, grid, or list module, you must decide which content it will showcase.
...
The goal of this module is: |
Pull these content type(s): This step is required. The rest are optional. Then narrow it down…
Then sort it all by: |
...
Anchor | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
|
...
Include Page | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
|
You can stop here if you’d you like! The next steps are optional. Note that if you don’t sort (step 3), the module by default shows content with the latest release date first , to highlight recently released content.
...
Choose a session status… |
Live now |
Note that the module will be is hidden whenever there are no sessions with the specified status. For example, a Live now module would disappear during an event’s break time in between live sessions.
...
Profile tags are any tags attendees select when they create their profile. For example, an onboarding question might ask about their interests, with multiple options like Leadership
and Design
. Any of these tags can be applied to related content and pulled into the module.
If the module you’re creating you create isn’t related to any profile tags, you should create a new layout tag. Usually, a layout tag simply matches the module title or page title. For example, if a module is titled Featured Sessions, create a Featured Sessions
tag and add it to each piece of content that you’d like to appear in that module.
...
Show courses that you have Started but not yet Completed.
Show speakers and exhibitors that you have Favorited.
Show sessions that you have added to your schedule by clicking the Attend button. (This is usually displayed as a My Schedule tab on the schedule page.
...
If you narrow the module content to recommendations based on the Interests tag type, one attendee sees content about Leadership
and another sees content about Design
. Note that if someone didn’t select any tags, they see all Interests content instead.
Flexible A flexible recommendation shows additional content beyond the tag type(s) you specified. For example, if some content isn’t related to the Interest tag type at all, it could still show up in the module. This option is best when you want to make recommendations but also want to encourage attendees to discover new things.
Strict A strict recommendation only shows content from that tag type. It narrows down your content much further. This option is best when you want the module to be highly focused focus on a specific topic.

Choose one way to sort the content in the module. Note that if you don’t sort, the module by default shows content with the latest release date first , to highlight recently released content.
Choose one way to sort… | Definition |
Release date (earliest to latest, or latest to earliest) | Release is when the content becomes viewable. For example, a piece of on-demand content might not be released until a specific date. A session might be released well before its start time. |
Start date (earliest to latest, or latest to earliest) | Start is when the content (such as a session) begins. This option is only for sessionsOnly some content types have a start date. |
Alphabetical by title | Use this if the first character in the title is a letter. Note that speakers can be sorted by the first character in their first name orlast name. |
Numerical by title (ascending or descending) | Use this if the first character in the title is a number. For example, 1 Session and 2 Session. Note this doesn’t work if the first character is a letter. For example, Session 1 and Session 2 do not sort numerically. |
Popularity over time | Amount of views over time. If content is viewed 100 times in the last five minutes it is more popular than content viewed 100 times over a month. |
Random | Changes each time you reload the page. |
