Content - create environments

The content of the app is determined by the environments in the app and the modules that are added to them. This page explains how the environments work and how they can be created.

What are environments?

Under the heading ‘Content’, you can create different environments. These environments distinguish between which types of users see which information. For example, there can be a separate environment for visitors and a separate environment for members. There are two types of environments for this: public environments and community environments. The differences between these environments are explained below.

Public environments

Public environments are environments that are always accessible to users without logging in. Public environments can be created without restriction.

When creating a new environment, under ‘Access’ you can determine whether logged-in users should also have access to this environment. 

Community environments

In a community environment, it is possible to set it so that users must log in to view the content of this environment. This can be set by clicking on the pencil icon for this environment, checking the box next to ‘Login required’ and then setting under ‘Access’ which group from the Organization application can log in.

In principle, there is one community environment in your app. However, if your association is an umbrella organization, there will be a community environment for each community in your association.

Community environments: sub-environments

When you click on the name of the community environment, you will be taken to a new screen containing the sub-environments of this environment. This allows you to divide this environment into different parts, for example if you want different logged-in users to see different pieces of content. It is also possible to set who has access to each sub-environment by clicking on the pencil icon for that sub-environment and selecting a folder from the Organization application under ‘Access’.

Setting the priority of an environment

If someone has access to multiple sub-environments in the app, you can indicate here which environment should be displayed first. The other environments will also remain available.

To assign priority to an environment, click on the ‘Set priority’ button in the menu bar on the overview page.
