You can use our storytelling tool to activate or deactivate Tabspots by time. To do this, open our storytelling tool in the left side menu of your event dashboard.
If you have not yet made any further settings, you will find an overview of all tasks for your event on the right.
Scroll down in the storytelling tool until you see the global groups on the left. Then drag the Tabspots that you want to control by time into one or more of these global groups.
Global groups are inactive in the event by default. You can use the settings icon (cogwheel) to set triggers for the respective group. To activate the group at a specific time, set a time value (with the trigger “Minutes after event start”) and activate the visibility tick.
If you want to deactivate the group again later, add another time value with the same trigger, but without the visibility tick.
All Tabspots in the global group are then activated or deactivated according to the set time values – they are therefore visible or invisible to your players.
If you want your global group to be visible from the start, set the time value to 0 minutes after the start of the event and activate the tick for visible.
Hint 1 #
If you want to activate or deactivate Tabspots by time, we recommend using the individual countdown in the event settings. This allows you to achieve precise control for all teams.
Please note that the trigger is primarily based on the set event time. The more generously the event time is selected and the more variable the actual start time, the more flexible the activation or deactivation of the global groups will be. Everything can be controlled more precisely via the individual countdown. See more here!
Hint 2 #
We recommend always adding an info spot to every global group. To do this, create an Infospot with the checkin type “Free” and the icon “Secret” and add a note in the Infospot description about the activation of the spots – for example: “New tabspots have been activated.”
Place the Secret Infospot in the global group in front of all other tab spots. With these settings, the secret Infospot appears as a pop-up in the app as soon as the global group is activated. The text written in the description of the Infospot is displayed as a pop-up so that you can effectively inform your players/teams about the new Tabspots in the game.
