^ Video - Soon to be updated 


WHAT

Lets take a quick second to go over the structure of the app, to give you a good working knowledge that will allow you to use the app in the best way possible to serve the needs of your goals within the app. Please note that the look of the Content Portal has changed since this video was created, but the steps are still basically the same. 

There are two main structure networks in the app and multiple ways to access each one. 



1. TOPICS 

Topics are the most visible and easily accessible structure in the app. By default, most app owners will have a [TOPICS] button on the main home screen area.


 

This is the main way that most app users will quickly find and access the topics in your app. The second way is through the dropdown menu ☰



2. DIRECTORY LISTINGS

Directory Listings work exactly the same way that Topics do. You will use the exact same form to create a Topic as you will a Directory Listing. The ONLY difference between them, is where you find them in the app/web.


Topics Live in the Topics menu found by using the 2 possible methods mentioned above. Directory Listings are found under Directories. The only way to get to Directories, is by using the dropdown menu ☰ 


NOTE: In the older versions of the app, you can get to the default Resource Directory from the Topics area. At the top you will see the words Topics/Resources, and clicking on the Resource word will tab over to that Directory.


WHERE



HOW

Going here will pull up the Topics/Directory Listings list. This list will populate as you add more and more Topics/Listings to it. 



To add a New Topic/Listing, you will need to click on the [Add Topic/Listing] button.



This will bring you to the New Topics/Listing form.



To fill out this form you can watch along in the video or refence the text below.
