What is a Feed-layout?
A Feed-Layout is a way to display your Playlists in the apps. One Feed corresponds to one Playlist. Setting up a Feed-layout is a necessary step for building the user experience of your apps.
Create a Feed-layout
- Select Navigation/Layout from Audiorista's main menu as a first step.
- Select the Feed-layout tab.
- Hit the Create feed-layout button.
- Assign a name to your Feed by typing in the blank space and then Submit.
Link a Feed to a Playlist
Now you are ready to link the Feed to a specific Playlist. You can only link one Playlist to a single Feed. From the Edit details page, which appears either automatically after creating a Feed layout or by selecting the Feed you want to modify in the Feed-layout overview list,
- Click on the Playlist drop-down menu
- Navigate the drop-down list until you find the desired Playlist, and click on it.
- Save changes
Add Artwork to the Feed
- From the Edit details page, press Browse
- Browse your computer to find the corresponding image, select it then click Open.

Choose the display mode
Here is where you decide how the Feed is shown to your end users in the apps. You have two options:
- Default: will show the Feed with the artwork image
- Slim: will only show the Feed as text, without any artwork image
Enable filters
You have the option to choose whether filters should be enabled. By default, filters are not enabled, but you can change the settings here by toggling the slider.
When filters are enabled, they allow the user to take advantage of Tags and Tag groups to navigate your content in the apps.
