How to configure settings and customize your app's home screen.
Click here to watch a quick video highlighting the importance of the home screen and its features. This guide will help you maximize its functionality and get the most out of your home screen page.
Customizing the Home Screen
Your app home screen is one of the most used screens in the app. It's important to present the attendee with the right information they need to execute their plan for the event, and it's important to you as the event organizer to present the attendee with the information they need to execute your plan for the event. Both can be done on the Home screen.
To customize the Home Screen, head to Screens > Home, then click edit.
Basics
Here, you can change the screen name (optional) and background color. To add more custom colors, head to Design > Colors.
Header
The header screen can include an image, event name, and a welcome message followed by the event description.
Recommended specs for the Home Screen header: Mini-header (character limit: 50) e.g. "Welcome, <Name>!"; Body Copy (character limit: 200); Title (character limit: 100); Landscape Cover Content (1280px wide PNG, JPG, WEBP, or 16:9 GIF).
Select Content Tab
There are 4 options when adding information to the Home page.
Carousels
Carousels are a great way to showcase featured sessions, key speakers, or important announcements.

From left to right: a Speaker and Sponsor Carousel with Rounded Square style, demonstrating content displayed in rounded square elements; the same carousel with a background color added for visual emphasis; and a Speaker-only Carousel in Square style with a distinct background color for clarity and focus.
Highlights
Highlight is a great way to feature the key activities of your event.
How to Customize Your Highlight in the CMS
In the Basics tab, begin by entering a title that clearly describes the content or feature you wish to highlight. Next, provide a brief description in the body section that explains what is being featured. If you want to link this highlight to another page, select the desired call-to-action (CTA) type, choosing between text, button, or image. You can also customize the label of your CTA to better fit the highlight's description. Additionally, use the CTA Target Type dropdown menu to select where within the app you want the highlight to link, with options such as sessions, speakers, sponsors, articles, and more.
In the Design tab, you have the ability to further customize the highlight by adjusting various elements, including images, colors, outlines, and other design features to enhance its visual appeal.
Agenda Overviews
The agenda overview provides a summary or detailed schedule of all planned events, sessions, and activities for the conference or event. Within the app, attendees can access a personalized schedule view that consolidates all the sessions they have registered for, offering an organized list of their planned activities. This feature helps attendees keep track of their commitments and effectively manage their time throughout the event.
Section Title
A section title is a label or heading used to organize and categorize content within the app and provides a clear label to each section.
Order Content
In the Order Content tab, you can toggle and customize all the content displayed on your home screen according to your preferences.
