Adding Custom Content

If you need to provide a significant amount of information on your web page, and you need it to be dynamic, legible and well-designed, adding a new content tab is advised.

There are various tools you can utilize depending on what's relevant to your event. This article will detail how to add custom formatting via the content tab function.

Adding custom formatting is useful if the information you need to add to the webpage doesn't fit the limitations of the Agenda, Media Item, or Images tools.

To add an image in a content tab, first navigate to WEB PAGE.

Then click ADD NEW CONTENT TAB. You'll notice that your Event Description is listed below as an existing content tab already.

The ADD CONTENT PAGE pop up window will appear. Type the name of the tab you want to add, then click SAVE. For example, I'm the event manager for a New Student Orientation, and I want to create a tab that's full of resources for the students, so I'll name this tab accordingly.

You will land back on WEB PAGE. Under the new content tab you've created, click CUSTOM.

The ADD CONTENT BLOCK pop up window will appear. For the NAME THIS ITEM textbox, create an internal name for your reference. This will not be visible on the web page.

When creating a custom content block, the tools and formatting tools are less restrictive, similar to the Event Description.

There are a number of tools available to present your information to your exact specifications. A few notable ones listed below:

If you want to add an embedded video, click the video icon.

The INSERT VIDEO pop up window will appear. Paste the URL to the link you want to embed into the textbox, then click insert video.

The embedded video will appear. You can use the text tools to add any copy you want to appear next to the video.

Another tool you can utilize in the custom content block is the tables feature. To use this tool, click the table icon, and decide how many rows and columns you require.

As always, you can use the text editing tools to customize this table to your liking. Press SAVE once this section is perfected.

PLEASE NOTE: Tables may not display consistently well on devices with smaller screen sizes, like phones and tablets. For content which needs to be grouped in sections, with titles etc. consider using the Agenda or Media Item blocks instead.

Another tool you can use is hyperlinks, via the hyperlink icon.

When you press that icon, the INSERT LINK pop up window will appear. Insert your link and your display text. Check the boxes depending on how you'd like the link to function. Then press INSERT LINK.

The hyperlink you added will appear in purple.

You can also add images via the custom content feature. To do this, click the image icon.

The INSERT IMAGE pop up window will appear. Choose the photo you'd like to upload, then click INSERT IMAGE.

The photo will appear in the text space. You can amend the size, placement and rotation of the image in the white tab. When your custom content block is perfected, press SAVE.

You can adjust the order of the images by clicking and dragging individual sections, then clicking SAVE ORDER.

To make the content tab live on your event web page, make sure the checkbox is checked on.

Click VIEW EVENT WEB PAGE to see how everything appears.

The content tab we created appears above the event description.

If you click the 'Pre-Orientation Resources' content tab, the pop up window appears with the content we customized.
