Adding Content to a Playlist

Once you’ve created your Playlist, click the ellipses icon in the top right corner of the Playlist tile, then select Manage Content then Add Content.

Content items that appear on the left side of the screen are items that have already been uploaded to the event’s Content Hub. Hover over an item and click the plus sign on an item to move it to the right side of the screen and into your Playlist.

If you don’t see a resource you need, you can add it by clicking the Add New button. Upload the new item and provide all necessary details (name, content type, image, URL, et.c). Click Save to finish creating the content item. You’ll be taken back to the Add Content to Playlist screen where you can click the plus icon to add your new item to your Playlist.

Click and drag items on the left side of the screen up and down to rearrange which order they appear in the playlist and click the trash can icon to remove an item from the Playlist.

Note: If you want to delete a content item entirely, you can do so from the Content Hub.

Adding Lead Generation Forms to a Playlist

If you would like to add a Lead Generation or Contact Me form to your Playlist, click Manage Form. Create and name a new form then click the pencil icon to adjust the fields that are included in the form. Once you've made all your changes, click Save.

Now that you've created a form, you can set when it appears to your booth visitors. Back on the main Playlist page turn on the Form Visibility toggle and click New Rule.

Name the rule and select the form you just created from the Select Form dropdown. Use the Select Content dropdown to set which Playlist content item the form is tied to. In the Time field, set how long you want a user to view that content item before the form appears on their screen.

After you've made all adjustments, click Save.
