If you imagine the POT like a train, CARds are its cars.

 

CARds are the single units of your POT. The place where you upload your content: image, video, audio or text.

 

CARds include the Fields that you use to categorize the content. Fields have to be set up during POT creation and may be modified afterwards.

 

CARds can be displayed as:

  • Preview: when you are in the “train” view
  • Complete: when you open the CARd and see all content

 

CARd Preview


When displayed in preview the CARd shows

  • the main picture
  • the date of last update
  • up to 4 Fields and description
  • details about the POTer who have added the CARd (if it is a Shared POT)

 

In the CARd menu you will find:

  • Close POT: closes the preview and prompts back to closed POT
  • Open CARd: opens the Complete view of the CARd
  • Add before this CARd: enables CARd Add just before the actual one. Always active for the POT owner. Enabled for all registered users only if POT is Shared
  • Remove CARd: deletes the CARd


 


Open CARd view



You see all the content of the CARd:

  • Field names and descriptions
  • Main picture – Video - Audio
  • Additional pictures
  • Text

 

All the images can be enlarged by clicking on them. A pop up will be displayed and you will go through all the images by clicking on their left or right half. Images are numbered starting from number 1 (the first additional picture on the left). Click on X to close this window.

To start the video-audio click on it. Look and feel and tools are provided by the sources (YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud).

 

In this view the menu includes:

  • Previous: displays the previous CARd (if available)
  • Edit CARd: to enable CARd editing
  • Edit Fields: to enable Fields editing (Alert: the editing affects all the CARds of this POT)
  • Print: prompts the print view
  • Back to POT: back to POT "train" view
  • Next: displays the next CARd (if available)

 

In case the CARd has been added by another POTer it is displayed in cyan colour until you Accept or Reject it.

If the Add is accepted the CARd returns orange and on top of it you will find the Username of the contributor.

Therefore also your Username is on the Accepted CARds that you’ve added.

 

On top right corner you find the last update date.
