Tale groups and tales

A tale group is one circle in a bar (or one card in a banner). A tale is one full-screen page inside a group. A visitor taps a group and moves through its tales.

The group menu

The ... menu on each group has:

  • Rename and Cover: a still image, or an animated cover of at most 300 KB.
  • Audience: tags, user lists and viewer properties. See Targeting.
  • Schedule: a start and an end time. Leave a field empty for no start or no end. The panel shows the time zone it uses.
  • Show in another zone: place the same group in more than one zone. An edit shows in every zone.
  • Copy to zone: make an independent copy. Later edits do not carry over.
  • Archive.
