How to choose heading
[VISUAL DIAGRAM of this plus this equals this, and/or content being “pulled” with arrows]
First, pull content into the module using one or more methods:
You can use more than one method. Example: Pull all Library content, then only select the ones with specific tags.
Then, sort the content. This step is optional. If you don’t, it defaults to release date descending, most recent first.
Copy and paste the form below
I’d like this module to… |
Show these content type(s): This field is required. The rest are optional.
Then sort it all by: |
1. Pull content types (required)
First, decide which type of content you’d like to appear in the module.
Usually, you only need one type. But you can choose multiple. A common example of multiple content types in a module is Session + Library content. This module would offer attendees a mix of live and on-demand content.
Your choices are:
Sessions
You must also specify the session type: Main stage, Panel, and/or Breakout. In-person sessions
You must also specify the session type: Main stage, Panel, and/or Breakout. Library (also known as On-demand) Exhibitors (also known as Partners) Speakers Courses (also known as Tracks) Lessons
You can stop here if you’d like! The next steps are optional. Note that if you don’t sort (step 3), the module will by default show content with the most recent release date first.
2. Narrow down the content selection (optional)
After choosing a content type, you’ll often want to narrow it down so the module is focused on a specific topic, availability, or personalized recommendation. For example, instead of showing any course, a module might only show courses about “leadership”.
Why? Narrowing down content is particularly useful when you have a lot to share with attendees. Instead of trying to fit all content into a single module (like a large grid), create multiple modules on the same page! Then give each module a different focus so attendees can discover content in a variety of ways.
Use one or both of the methods described below.
Session status
If you pull Sessions or In-person sessions into the module, you can narrow it down to sessions with a specific status. A session’s status changes over time as it goes from Upcoming, to Live, to Past.
Your choices are:
Live now Upcoming and Live now Past and Live now
Note that the module will appear empty whenever there aren’t sessions with the specified status. For example, you might not choose Live now if your event has a lot of downtime in between live sessions.
You can narrow down any content type using tags. Optional. You can pick one or multiple tags.
If you don’t specify tags, any content from the bucket can be pulled into the module. If you do specify tags, only content that has that tag applied to it will appear in the module.
Choose one or more tags:
Layout tags
These are custom tags that you create then apply to each piece of content that you’d like to appear in the module. Layout tags are the simplest way to group content. Usually, they match your site’s page or module titles. For example, if a module is titled Leadership, you can make a Leadership tag and add it to each piece of content that you’d like to appear in that module.
Profile tags
These
You create these custom tags. They’re topics or interests. Attendees select from these tags during onboarding.
Access level tags
if you want content to be “locked” to users without permissions/tickets/etc. It will appear as locked. Use cases: want to advertise stuff for upsell OR just simply keep content locked from specific users
Static tags
You can narrow down any content type to show only content that has specific tags applied to it. Note that every attendee will see the same content, even if they didn’t select Leadership as one of their interests. If you want to show attendees personalized recommendations, see the options below.
Choose any profile, layout, and/or access level tags
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 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.
Access level tags are… You have content behind a ticket paywall. You want to group it together in one module.
Dynamic tag types
Recommend content with dynamic tags. Each attendee will see different content depending on their tags or access level.
Options:
Strict content recommendation for any profile tag type(s): Only show attendees content related to the tags they selected from a specific tag type.
People will only see the tags they selected in their profile setup. For example, if the module pulls interest tags, one person will only see content tagged with Leadership, and another will only see content tagged Design.
Note that if someone didn’t select any tags for that type, they’ll see content with any tag. For example, if they didn’t select interests, they’ll see content about any interest.
Flexible content recommendation for any profile tag type(s): Show attendees content related to the tags they selected from a specific tag type. But this limits attendees options less by still showing them content outside of that tag type.
For example, if some of your sessions aren’t related to interest tags at all, they would still show up in the module.
This option is best when you want to make personalized recommendations but also want to encourage attendees to discover new things.
Strict access level recommendation: Only show attendees content that matches their access level.
Flexible access level recommendation: Same as above but access level. Don’t understand
3. Sort the content (optional)
Optional, Only pick 1
If you don’t choose a sort, it defaults to release date descending (most recent first.)
Sort by… GROUP THESE OR ADD DESCRIPTIONS FOR USE CASES?
Release date (ascending=most recent is last, or descending=most recent first)
Not just for sessions. For example, a library content page might not become available until a specific date.
when it’s viewable, which is usually well before the session starts, so people know it’s happening and can add it to their schedule.
Start date (ascending=most recent is last, or descending=most recent first)
Only sessions
when the session actually begins
Alphabetical
by title or speaker’s first name
Numerical (ascending or descending)
use it if the first character in the title are numbers. Example:
1 Session2 Sessionnote that it won’t sort letters. Example:
Session 1Session 2will not sort in numerical order
Random
different every ime you reload the page
Popularity - Tag score then date <<confirm that. scrilla said “prob” in a comment
Unsure if these are for modules/what they are
1 = sort num responses descending
5 = sort children descending
6 = sort children ascending
12 = sort day and month ascending
13 = sort rotate every four hours
14 = sort rotate every hour
16 = sort string option1
17 = sort string option2
18 = sort string option3
19 = sort match against score
21 = sort child ascending2
22 = sort content descending2
100 = sort pinned tag
101 = sort bucket tag ascending
102 = sort getty special
103 = sort tag order
Pretty sure these aren’t for modules
10 = sort rank descending
11 = sort rank ascending
9 = sort action completed
23 = sort most completed action
24 = sort least completed action
