Overview

Assigning and filtering content is key to getting the most from Vepple.

For each post/group that you build, you need to decide where the content should be housed and to whom it should show; you do this using Assignments and Filters.

Basic assignment & filtering

Setting where content should be shown

You stipulate WHERE content should be housed through the use of the Assignments box in the editor.

For example, if you wanted a particular item of content to appear within the Content Grid of the Accommodation section, you'd tick Accommodation in the list above (as well as setting the content to be featured if it's a single post). Assignments are used to determine what content should show in the Content Grid block and also in 360 Content Spots.

Setting to whom content should be shown

You set TO WHOM the content should be visible using the filter box(es) in the editor. In the above section, the content was set to show in the Accommodation section, but we can now define to which audiences it should be made visible.

The filter box(es) that you see in your Vepple may differ to those shown here but the principle remains the same.

If we wanted the content to only show to Postgraduate students, we'd only tick that option.

Conversely, it might be that you only want the content to show to UG students or those that skip personalisation or select "I'm not sure".

As the name suggests, selecting "Select All" will make the post visible to all audiences.

Bulk assignment & filtering

The Bulk Editing tools within Vepple make it much easier to assign/re-assign filters and assignments en masse.

1. Browse to any admin table (as shown)
   
   
    
2. Using the tick boxes on the left hand side (or the one in the header to select all on that page) Select all posts that you're looking to bulk-edit.
   
   
   Note, it might be that you need to change the number of posts shown per page in the screen options tab at the top of the page so that all results are shown on one page.
   
   
3. Press "Bulk Edit" on the column that you're looking to amend and click apply.
4. Either add, remove or replace values as required:
   

Bulk editing can be particularly powerful when combined with filtering admin tables, to for example, assign all content that's assigned to Subject A to Subject B.
