This component redirects users to Walls.io, an interactive social wall for participants to share their impressions of the event.
To implement Walls.io into your event, first create a Walls.io account. Then, select the content resources you want to display on the social wall and paste the Walls.io wall link into the Walls.io wall URL field.
Drop-down Menu
The Drop-down menu component component creates an empty drop-down menu where you can add other event components.
First, enter the drop-down menu's name in the Name field, and click on the Create button to create it.
After creating the drop-down menu, it will appear in the event components list.
To add components to the drop-down, click on the plus button next to it. This will prompt you to create a new component, which will then be visible and available to choose from the drop-down menu.
How can I edit event components?
After creating event components, you can edit them at any time.
To edit a component, locate it in the Event components page and click on the pencil icon next to it.
Then, you can modify the component's name, data customization, and visibility settings according to your needs.
If you ever need to remove a component from the navigation bar, the process can be completed in just a few clicks. For detailed instructions on how to delete event components, please refer to our article on deleting event components.
How can I reorder event components?
On the Event components page, you'll find the components displayed in the order they appear on the navigation bar on your event's website.
If you wish to change the order of event components, first, click on the component you want to reorder and drag it to the desired position on the list.
The new order will automatically reflect on the navigation bar on the event website.
