Managing content
In this section, we highlight the most important aspects of managing content for the app and how this content is displayed.
Previews in Console
The Zone content preview, displayed on the left, shows the Items within a Zone. It also provides relevant information about the added Item (Campaign) such as Audience, Timing, and Stores assigned. You can also see if a Campaign is Scheduled, Draft, or Active.
The full app preview, displayed on the right, shows the layout of the Zones and Zone Items as they would appear in the mobile app. When the “Admin view” is toggled off, you see only this preview. Because both the app and the content management system are continuously evolving, this preview might differ slightly from the actual display in the app.
By clicking on the three dots (“…”), you can view the Campaign that will be displayed as content, edit the Campaign, or remove the current content Item from the Zone. Rest assured, this action will not delete the Campaign itself, as Zone Items and the actual Campaign are managed separately.

Adding Campaigns
Campaigns provide the content for the Items in Zones. Start by reviewing the Campaign overview under the “Campaigns” tab in the main navigation of Spaaza’s Console before adding Campaigns to Zones. You might need to create or alter Campaigns before deciding to add them as Items to a Zone.
When you click the “Add Item to ZONE NAME Zone” button in the Zone content preview, you will see a similar overview that allows you to add Campaigns to a Zone. By clicking on the three dots (“…”) in the add Campaign content screen, you can also alter the Campaign by clicking “Edit Campaign”.
Adding Campaign/content to a Zone:
- Filter Campaigns by Status, Name, Barcode, Tags, Incentive, Campaign Type, or Content Type
- Add active Campaigns or Campaigns that are scheduled to go live in the future
- Add multiple Campaigns/content as Items to a Zone at once (or keep it to one only)

A single campaign can be used to create multiple content Items across multiple Zones.
General Content Styling settings
In the Spaaza Console’s “Settings” tab, under the “Default Campaign Content Settings” section, you can configure some styling properties. Currently, you are limited to using: Background Color and Primary Action Background Color.
- Background Color: This is the color that will be used as the background for any “Card” Layout Type Item if no image and/or background image has been set in the Campaign/Voucher edit form.
- Primary Action Background Color: This is the color of the button or the label that some Content Items have (depending on the Campaign Type).
Default Campaign Content Settings:
There is also styling that needs to be configured manually by a developer during the initial setup for more on this see the Mobile App Onboarding section.
Zone content setup
The app content management system is available through the “Content” tab in the main navigation of Spaaza’s console. Below is a step-by-step walkthrough on how to display content in the app. After completing this walkthrough, we recommend experimenting with different combinations of layout styles and orientations of the Items within the Zones. Use the “pull-to-refresh” feature inside the app after you have made your changes to see how they are reflected in the app.
Steps to Configure Content in the App
1. Select the page you want to configure content for from the dropdown menu.
2. Click the “Add Zone” button to add a Zone to the selected page & name the Zone using the “Name” input field (or leave it blank).
3. Click the “+ Add Item to Zone” button.
4. Now the Campaign overview will open, select three Campaigns you wish to add as Items to the Zone using the checkboxes.
5. Click the “Add selected Campaigns” button.
6. Leave the Layout Style on “Card”, set the Orientation to “Vertical” and leave the Assignment type on “Manual”
7. Refresh the corresponding screen inside of the app by the “pull down” refresh.
Managing Unsaved Changes
When you add or modify Zones and Items, “x unsaved change(s)” will appear next to the “Save changes” button. Even if you navigate to another page within Spaaza’s Console, your unsaved changes to the Zone content Items will be stored. However, remember to save them before closing the Spaaza console website; otherwise, they will be lost. When clicking “Clear all,” you will discard your current changes.
