Before you create your EX.CO experience, the first thing you’ll be asked to do is to decide on a placement for it. A placement is the position on a web page that the experience will be situated. This can either be between articles “in page”, or layered on top of the page’s existing content; “over page”.
If this is your first experience, naturally you’ll want to create a new placement. Check the ‘create new’ option and enter a unique placement name. This can be anything you like, but ensure it makes sense for anyone else who may need to refer to this later. ‘Your Company Name’ for example, or ‘Your Brand Identifier’ etc.
For any secondary experiences, simply check ‘Add to existing placement’, and select your choice from the drop down menu. It's important to note that if you have more than one experience in each placement, these will rotate evenly on your webpage when they are launched.
Click continue in the bottom right corner, and you can start creating your experience. Once it’s ready to launch, you must perform a one-time embed of our Placement Tag, which essentially creates a ‘container’ on your website for the experiences you’ll create. See embedding for more information.
Settings
In this section of the placement screen you’ll decide where and how your experience will be situated on the page.
Type
Position
Size
Here, you are able to decide how your experience will be displayed. If you’re unsure of what to choose, use the default settings, these can always be changed later.
More advanced users can set a width and choose whether it will be an exact pixel size (px) or a percentage of the screen (%). You can define this for both desktop and mobile devices. The height will be calculated automatically.
Once you’re happy with your settings, ensure that the Placement is enabled using the toggle switch, and click Save in the top right corner of the screen.
Content
This section of the screen will display all of the experiences you’ve created within this placement. The status toggle is the switch for making an experience appear on your website. If this is toggled to off, the experience will not be served to visitors, so is considered inactive.
