Navigation
You can customize how your users navigate and what they see in your PocketPlatform app menus. Choose which type of general navigation to use, and personalize the experience with user-specific navigation!
General Navigation
When you set up your app, you can select either Drawer or Tab navigation. With Drawer navigation, the user can show or hide the menu on the left side of the app when they click an icon. With Tab navigation, the menu options always show up at the bottom of the app.
Drawer Navigation - Light Mode | Drawer Navigation - Dark Mode | Tab Navigation - Light Mode |
---|---|---|
- We recommend a maximum of five icons in the tabbed menu. If you have more items than that, you can always use the fifth icon as a "more" menu using a list of lists.
- For added clarity, you can contact Support to set labels that display under each icon.
No matter which option you choose, this general navigation menu shows the common, non-user-specific items you set up. These may include the following:
- Events: Shows current and future events. Featured events display in a grid with images, and all events can be viewed on the calendar. Or, events can be viewed in a list without images.
- Opportunities: Shows opportunities. This can be filtered by ministry and congregation/parish to create a custom experience for your users.
- Sermons: Allows users to access sermons and select their favorites.
- Giving: Allows users to donate via your preferred giving vendor.
- Check-in: Displays their Contact barcode or Household QR code.
User-specific Navigation
You can provide personalized menu options for both logged-in and logged-out individuals.
The user-specific navigation menu displays when the user taps their image on the right of the header. The options that show up depend on whether the user has logged in or continued as a guest.
