Location Mode vs. Content Group Mode
Overview
In Jolt, there are two primary modes for managing and storing content: Location Mode and Content Group Mode. Understanding these modes will help you effectively manage your content based on your organizational needs. To change modes, use the location switcher in the top right of every page on the Jolt Web Portal.
Location Mode
Purpose: Manages content specific to a single location.
Content Accessibility: Content created in Location Mode is only accessible at the location where it was created. It is not shared with other locations.
Use Case: Ideal for managing content unique to a particular site, such as location-specific tasks, checklists, or settings.
Content Group Mode
Purpose: Shares content across all locations within the Content Group.
Content Accessibility: Content created in Content Group Mode is accessible from every location within the same Content Group. This facilitates consistency and standardization across multiple locations.
Use Case: Useful for managing content that needs to be uniform across several locations, such as company-wide policies, standard operating procedures, or promotional materials.
Switching Between Modes
Accessing Modes:
Location Mode: When you need to manage content specific to a single location, select Location Mode from the dropdown menu.
Content Group Mode: To manage or create content that should be shared across multiple locations, select Content Group Mode from the dropdown menu.
Dropdown Menu:
To switch between modes, use the dropdown menu located in the Content Group and Location Mode section.
Additional Notes
Fees: There are no additional fees for having separate Content Groups; the costs are associated with the number of locations.
Separation of Content: Using different Content Groups helps you separate content for different brands, departments, or business units within your company.
