Element Reference

Elements are the building blocks of your Experience

Elements are a generic concept and any app buit on Monterosa can have Elements. This section focusses on FanKit Elements. FanKit is the baseline React framework that is used by the majority of Experiences and as a toolkit. Apps which build their own will differ.

What are Elements?

Elements are individual content objects published inside an Event.

They can be two-way interactive components including Polls, Predictions or Trivia questions which have a range of configuration fields and typically have two-way behaviour that allows them to count up votes or responses from users, or they can be non-interactive editorial snippets such as images, video, commentary or sports data.

Elements are created, triggered, scheduled and managed on the Timeline screen. They can be pre-created, cloned, edited in real-time and revoked from the Timeline.

How do I create and manage Elements?

How do I add a new Element?

Click the + New Element button at the bottom-right of the Timeline screen then select an Element from the Element menu:

How do I publish or schedule an Element?

All Elements have a Timing tab where an Elements timing settings can be managed.

Start mode	Choose how this Element will be started: Manual - does not have a start time and will be manually published during a live Event. Timecode - has a start time and will be scheduled to publish during a live Event.
Start time	Enter the time the Element will be published during a live Event.
Duration	Enter the duration of time the Element will be live for. This time must fit within the Event time including any remaining time during a live Event.

Event must be live before Elements can be published. If the Event has not started yet or Elements are set to timecode they can only be saved.

How do I control how the Element results are shown?

At the bottom of the Timing tab there are settings for:

Reveal results breakdown	Choose how the results will be shown: On user vote - Results will be shown once a fan has interacted On close - Results will be shown on close of the Element Don't reveal - Results will not be shown in any case Manual - Results will be shown when manually chosen to do so Always - Results will at all times

How can I clone/duplicate an Element?

Elements can easily be cloned and edited as a quick way to pre-create an already existing Element. The option is available at the end of each Element in the Element list view on the Timeline screen.

These are currently split into 9 categories, as follows:
