How to add and organize groups within a content group
Overview
After creating a content group, the next step is to add and organize the groups that will appear as tabs within that section in your guest app.
Each group can contain one or multiple pieces of content—such as services, facilities, routes, or calendars—depending on the content group type you've selected.
This article explains how to configure these groups step by step.
Before getting started
Before adding groups, make sure you have:
- Created the content group in the CMS.
- Added all services, calendars, or routes you want to include in the group.
- Chosen the correct group type (Default, Calendar, or Routes).
- Uploaded the icons you want to display on each tab (optional but recommended).
Step-by-step guide
Step 1: Go to the Groups tab
- Log in to the CMS.
- Go to Content > Other > Content groups.
- Select the content group you want to configure.
- Open the Groups tab.
Step 2: Add a new group
- Click Add group.
- Fill in the following fields:
- Group name: This is the label that will appear as a tab in the guest app.
- Group contents: Select the services, facilities, routes, or calendars that will appear within this group.
- Tab icon: Select an icon that visually represents this group (optional but helps improve clarity in the app).
- Map marker icon: Select the icon that will appear on the map for all contents included in this group. This option is only used when the content group is configured with a map view.
When selecting group content, you can select one or multiple items:
- To select one item, use the dropdown menu.
- To select several, check the box labeled Select multiple contents, then choose as many as needed.
Important: The type of contents available will depend on the type of content group:
- Default groups will display available services or facilities.
- Calendar groups will show only calendars.
- Route groups will show any service or facility that includes a set location (e.g., on-site spots or external destination points).
Step 3: Organize your groups
After creating multiple groups, you can reorder the tabs as they will appear in the guest app. To do so, use the arrow button on the right side of the screen.
Use clear names and intuitive icons to ensure a smooth guest experience.
If you need to delete a group, use the trash icon on the right side of the screen.
How it appears in the app
Each group will appear as a tab within the content group section on the guest app.
Guests will see:
- The name of the group as the tab title.
- The icon you’ve assigned (if applicable).
- The list or map of selected contents, depending on your view type.
Next steps
Once you’ve added and configured your groups:
- Preview the result in your app to check the layout. Use the Preview button available in the Information tab.
- Adjust the order or content of the groups as needed.
