How to create a content group

Overview

Content groups allow you to combine different services, facilities, or activities into a single, customizable section on your app’s home page. This makes it easier for guests to discover related offerings and navigate your content more efficiently.

You can use content groups to:

• Highlight services that belong to a specific theme (e.g., “Wellness Day”).
• Combine multiple calendars into one view.
• Display routes or maps with points of interest.

In this article, you’ll learn how to create and configure a content group step by step.

 

Before getting started

Before creating a content group, make sure you have:

• Access to the CMS > Content > Other > Content Groups section.
• Created the services, calendars, or routes you want to include in the group.
• Uploaded the images or videos you’d like to use for the group’s visual design.
• Defined the name and structure of the group based on how it will be used (e.g., by theme, room, or guest type).

Step-by-step guide

Step 1: Go to the Content groups section

1. Log into the CMS.
2. Go to Content in the top navigation menu.
3. In the left-side menu, click Other > Content groups.

Step 2: Create a new content group

1. Click the Add button (top right).
2. In the Information tab, fill in the following fields:
   • Name: This is the title guests will see.
   • Subtitle (optional): Add a brief description to give more context.
   • Video URL/Image: Upload an image or video to represent the group visually.

Step 3: Choose the group type

Select the type of content group you want to create:

• Default: Group various services or facilities into one section (e.g., spa, gym, restaurant).
• Calendar: Combine multiple calendars into a single view (e.g., adult + kids activities).
• Routes: Display a route with multiple map points (e.g., a romantic sightseeing route).

Choose the option that best fits the content you want to group.

Step 4: Select the view type

Decide how the content will be displayed to guests:

• Map: Show services as interactive points on a map.
• List: Show services in a vertical list.
• Both: Display a list and a map; the one shown first will be the one selected as default view.

 

• Hide "All Points" tab: If this toggle button is enabled, the "All Points" tab won’t appear in the app. Only the grouped tabs you configure will be shown.

This option helps you simplify the interface if needed.

Step 5: Add tags to improve searchability

Tags help guests find your services when searching in the app.

1. Click on the Tags text box.
2. Select one or more relevant keywords from the dropdown menu.
3. Click Save changes.

Next steps

Once you’ve created your content group:

• Go to the Groups tab to add the services, calendars, or routes you want to include. Learn more in this article.
• Preview your content group in the app and make design adjustments if needed.
