Create a Media library

May 17, 2020 support 2 min read

The Media screen lets you create lists of media items. Use a list for a sermon series, a topic, a ministry, music, announcements, or anything else you want to group together. Each list holds items (such as individual sermons), and you control the artwork, the order, and whether the list shows in your app.

Create a media list

  1. In the left side menu, go to Media.
  2. Click Create Media List.
  3. Enter a Media list title.
  4. (Optional) Enter a Display Order number to control where this list sits among your other lists.
  5. Click Save.

After saving, the list opens so you can add items and artwork.

Add items to the list

You can add media you have already created, or make a brand new item.

  1. Open the list from the Media page.
  2. Click Manage items.
  3. In the window, Current items shows what is already in the list.
  4. Under Add existing items, use Search by title to find an item, then click the plus icon to add it.
  5. To remove an item, click the minus icon next to it in Current items.
  6. Close the window when you are done. Changes save as you go.

To create a new item from scratch, click Add Item on the list, enter an Item title, and click Save to open it and add its media and details.

Set artwork and ordering

On the open list, the side panel finishes the setup:

  • Upload artwork for the Square, Wide and Banner image areas.
  • Use the Display Order setting to sort the items inside the list. Options are the created date, Date: Latest at the top, Date: Latest at the bottom, Title: A-Z and Title: Z-A.

Publish the list

  1. On the open list, switch the toggle to Published to make it visible in your app. Leave it Unpublished while you are still building it.
  2. Click Save.

Tips

  • A title must be at least 4 characters long.
  • An item can only be in one list at a time, so adding it here moves it out of any list it was already in.
  • Build the list while it is unpublished, then publish once the items and artwork are ready.
