Sections Setting - VOD (Turnkey)

Updated

Use your Sections Setting to design the framework for each Section on your Site. Sections can include different elements such as your Schedule and how it will be displayed, a Speaker/bio section, Video on Demand (VOD) and Sponsors. You are also able to create new or remove sections.

Begin with setting the Order for your VOD Section 

  • Order: this determines where the schedule will be located on the page 

  • As you adjust numerically the Order of Sections on your Site while setting up your layoutt is important to note that each Section will need a numerical spot. You will insert additional sections above or below each section by adding or subtracting the number. We recommend setting the Player at 10 as it is generally at the top of your Site. Use lower numbers to put the section above the Player (example: if you would the schedule above the player, you would note it the number 5)

    • Order Recommendation 
      • Player - 10
      • Featured Speakers - 20
      • Schedule - 30
      • Sponsors - 40 
      • VOD - 50
  • Timing: select the event statein which the schedule will be displayed 

    • To add an event state (example: live, post), select the state from the drop-down menu
    • To remove an event state (example: pre, break, post), click on the x to remove it 
  • Event States Defined:

    • PRE event state: what the site looks like, prior to the event starting
    • LIVE event state: what the site looks like during the scheduled Live event
    • BREAK state: what the site may look like during longer breaks in the schedule 
    • POST event state: what the site looks like after the live event concludes
