Add a message

Watch our video tutorial on adding messages:

The video below is about adding messages from your laptop/desktop or tablet. If you want to post messages from your mobile phone, check out our explanation here .

Below you can read how to post a (news) message:

enter message

To start entering your message, from Ziber Team main menu, go to 'new' under the 'Messages' heading. In the 'Add' screen you will see several fields that you can fill with the data of this new message. This way you give the message a title and possibly a subtitle. In the large input window you enter the content of the message itself. You can also add a link in that text if you wish. With 'tags' you can indicate for this message what it relates to. You can optionally add a URL to the URL (for example www.ziber.nl), which can provide additional information about your message.

Using a start and end date (and possibly time) can be very helpful. Sets the period during which the message is current. You can therefore also schedule a message for the future, the message will then appear when the start date (and time) has arrived. You can also indicate whether the message should still be shown on your website after it has expired (in terms of end date). If you uncheck this option, the message can no longer be found on your website. With the check mark, it will be visible on your website, even after the end date has passed. This way you build up an archive of old messages.

Then, if necessary, enter a location for the message. If your message relates to a specific location, you can enter the name of the location here. This ensures that a link to the Google maps is shown with the message

You can add one or more photos/videos to the message under these input fields. You can add up to 8 photos or videos per message.

To publish

You are now ready to publish the message. You can indicate at the bottom of the screen where you want to publish your news. Is that just your own website, for example, or maybe also on your SenseView. You can indicate where you want to publish this message by using the dots. If the dot is green, the link is active. By default, only your own website/SenseView is active.

All filled in correctly, click on 'continue' at the bottom. All the data you entered will now be saved and the message has been published.
If things have not been entered correctly, you will receive a message that alerts you to this.

Check

It is always good to check whether your message is displayed in the desired way on your Ziber site or SenseView.
