Collections Screen

Overview

The Collections Screen is a section of the app where users can view and access various categories 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 screen 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 access the Collections screen, the user clicks Collections in the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen.

Billboard

A carousel section that is formed by a banner image, a title, a description and two buttons: Watch Now and My List. Autoplay is on by default and the time interval is set to 5 seconds.

Categories that are marked as Featured by Admin users via Video Portal will be displayed on the Billboard section. This can help users quickly identify which collections are most relevant to their interests and needs.

Categories Accessibility Settings

Each Category or Subcategory can have its own accessibility setting:

Public and Exclusive Category (or Subcategory) - no further action is required from users at this point since they are already logged in.
Password Required - the user must enter a password to gain access.
Paywall - if the user has already purchased the product associated with the Category (or Subcategory), then the Category will be open (same as Public and Exclusive Categories). If the user has not purchased the product associated with the Category yet, then a message will be displayed saying that it is a premium content that cannot be acquired through the mobile app.
