Feed Screen

Overview

The feed screen is the section of platform that displays a continuously updating stream of content. It allows users to easily discover new content and stay engaged with the platform.

To access the Feed screen, the user clicks Home in the side menu.

Side Menu

Channels

Channels resemble traditional TV channels or YouTube channels, that aggregate content in an intuitive, logical, or strategic way to distribute it to users and customers.

Channels come with most Community Platform functionality such as live streaming, watching videos, and organizing content by Categories.

Clicking on the arrow will display all available Channels. If an Organization is single-channel, the arrow will not be displayed.

When a Channel is selected, all available content showcased in the Feed, along with Categories and Tags, will be specifically tied to that chosen channel.

Accessibility Settings

Each Channel has its own accessibility setting:

• Public Channel - registration and login are not required to access the Channel.
• Exclusive - a login is required to gain access. In this case the user must have an account to access the Channel.
• Password Required - the user must enter a password to gain access.
• Paywall - a product is assigned to the Channel. The user must make a purchase to access it.

Categories

The Categories section is where users can view and access various posts of similar content. A category is typically a group of posts that share a common theme, such as a collection of posts on a specific topic.

This section allows users to easily navigate and browse through the different collections of content that are available on the platform, enhancing their overall experience on the platform.

To navigate to a particular Category, simply click on the corresponding option in the side menu.

Categories Accessibility Settings

Each Category or Subcategory can have its own accessibility setting:

Tags
