The Discover module makes a great landing page when users first open your Mobile App. It can display
- One featured media resource (e.g., your most recent sermon or a welcome video)
- Custom content you create
- A list of forms for event registration and other purposes.
Note: While Custom Pages allow you to do similar, the Discover Module is the only 'app page' that can display a dynamically updated media resource or all your event forms in a standard view.
Setup and Configuration:
(1) Re-name the Discover Module (optional)
Like other modules, you can customize Discover's display name or icon by selecting the Pencil icon or clicking the Menu Icon. If you'd like, change the icon or name to something you choose (ex: "Welcome"). Note: 12-character limit.
(2) Add a Featured Media Resource
Toggle on Featured Sermon and select a media resource, whether the most recent video from your Sermons module or a selected resource from the available list.
Note: The media resource you select "pulls" from the same media source configured in the Sermons Module (ex, your YouTube channel). If you've not set up a media source here, you must do so first. For more, see Mobile App Sermons & Media.
(3) Create Custom Content
Click on the Layout & Content tab, then on Add Content to begin adding your own custom content. Use any of our five content blocks and link to a custom page, another module, an event form, or even an external webpage!
Note: Building custom content follows the same process as building custom pages. See our overview here!
(4) Enable Event Forms
Toggle on Events to display any form categorized as an "Event" form.
Note: Just like in the Events module, the event forms that display must be given the category Event Registration in the Forms Manager.
If an event does not appear, open the Forms Manager, select your form, click Form Properties, and scroll down the Categories heading (screenshot below). Ensure the Event Registration checkbox is selected. While a date is not required for an event form, it is suggested so you can order your events.
Pro-Tip: Be creative! While the category name is "Event," don't let that limit your imagination! Many organizations use this area to highlight forms for visitor welcome, online attendance, fundraising, and more.
Again, as long as the form is assigned the Event Registration category, it will appear here!
(5) Order Discover Module Content
Under the Layout & Content tab, you can re-order any content you've enabled. On the left side of any item, click the double-bar icon and drag your content to the desired position.
