How to create a CrowdNewsroom
Do you want to start using CrowdNewsrooms too? Simply follow this quick guide to create your first CrowdNewsroom.
Looking for more information? Read through the sub-chapters linked at the end of the page for more detailed guidance.
Step by Step:
Under Administration, go to CrowdNewsroom and then click Create CrowdNewsroom (top right).
Write an introductory text (the first page of your Crowdnewsroom) and a end message (the last page of your Crowdnewsroom).
Create your first slide (the first page of your CrowdNewsroom). To do this, simply click on the button 1: Slide 1. Here you can add various questions and content blocks using drag and drop. You can learn more about the different content types here.
For the sake of simplicity, we will only add one text field. You can simply drag it with your mouse from the right-hand side to the center.
When you have dragged the text field over, a window opens automatically. You can set many things here. To start with, however, it is sufficient to enter the label (your question). Then you can click on Save.
Add a title, a short description and a cover image under Title and Image.
Now click on the Settings tab. Here you should switch off the Show Crowdneswroom in member dashboards function, at least for your first test CrowdNewsroom (you will need to scroll down a little to do this).
Otherwise, the CrowdNewsroom will automatically appear in your community dashboard.
The Publish button at the top right should now be dark gray and you can publish your CrowdNewsroom by clicking on it.
A window will then open where you can copy the link to the CrowdNewsroom (for your newsletter, for example) and view the answers.
Congratulations! You have just created your first CrowdNewsroom. You have now understood the principle behind this tool. You can find more in-depth information on the following pages or simply try it out for yourself. There's still a lot to discover and you've already made a start!
