Custom Main Screen - Agenda Example

The custom main screen template lays out a participant main screen, such as an agenda or a single current topic button. It includes elements such as a background image or color, welcome message, images, topic table, etc. all of which are XvariablesX that can be edited within the template.

Following is an example of the template for a simple Agenda with links to each active topic.

There are three components of the Custom Main Screen Template:

· User Defined Fields - allow facilitator to simply change images and welcome message text without having to dig deeper into the code. Defines XvariablesX that are called on later in the screen layout and topic table format.

· Screen Layout - sets out the HTML code for the screen layout. Includes XvariablesX that are plugged in according to the User Defined Fields above and other parameters such as the header, conference name and detail, etc. Also includes the XTopicTableX defined in the topic layout below.

· Topic Table Layout - sets out the HTML code for the topic table portion of the agenda page. Includes XvariablesX that are plugged in according to the details of the agenda items such as the topic names, start and end times, etc.
