Content Organization

Content Organization

Our platform provides a multitude of organizational “buckets” in which you can structure your content. Once you understand the hierarchy, the sky is the limit!




Channel

All Channels that a user has access to are displayed in the Library. Channels are the largest bucket FLIP has to offer.
Visually represented in a rectangle shape with an icon square at the left. 


  1. The icon is chosen from your organization's icon library (which can be customized to your brand).
  1. The color can be customized to be on brand as well.

Collection

The Collection is the header for a Bookcase or group of Bookcases. It is the second largest bucket in FLIP. You are able to add a search to this level. This allows you to isolate the users search to just the Bookcases within.

Visually represented with text.

  1. There is no character limit.

Bookcase

A Bookcase holds at least one Category with multiple Decks. Bookcases are the third largest bucket in FLIP.

Visually represented by a square shape with a color band across the bottom that has text within it.

  1. The color can be customized to be on brand.
  1. There is no character limit, but the best practice is to keep it very short. 

Category

The Category is the header for a Deck or group of Decks. It is the fourth from the largest bucket in FLIP. 

Visually represented with text.

  1. There is no character limit.

Deck

A Deck is a collection of Cards. It is the second smallest bucket in FLIP.

Visually represented by a rounded edge vertical rectangle.

  1. The Deck has the option to add a full-bleed image.

Card

A Card is the smallest bucket in FLIP.

Visually represented by a rounded edge vertical rectangle.

  1. The front side does not scroll, so the best practice is to keep the verbiage on it short.
  2. You can add two sizes of imagery. (700px X 438px & 700px X 1133px).
  3. Back side scrolls
  4. You can add imagery, audio, video, and much more
