How to add a Pop Up
Pop Ups are a flexible way to share urgent updates, understudy announcements, or special event messages with your audience as soon as they access your digital playbill. Here's how to add and configure a Pop Up in Step 7 of the Marquee Builder.
Step 1: Accessing the Pop Up Section
In the Marquee Builder, navigate to Step 7, then open the Pop Up section.
Step 2: Activate Your Pop Up
Toggle the “Activate Your Pop Up” switch to turn the feature on.
- This enables the Pop Up to appear when someone opens the Marquee.
Step 3: Choose Your Pop Up Type
Select which type of Pop Up you want to use:
- Understudy Only – For performances where an understudy is stepping into a role.
- Special Event Message – To share event-specific info like post-show discussions or announcements.
- Both – Use this option if you need to include both an understudy and a special event message.
For this tutorial, we’ll proceed with the Both option.
Step 4: Add Understudy Information
Select the Understudy
Choose the understudy from your People list.
- Their headshot will automatically appear in the Pop Up.
Understudy Message
Write a brief message letting the audience know which role the understudy is stepping into.
- Example: "In tonight’s performance, the role of Eliza Doolittle will be played by Jane Doe."
Step 5: Add Special Event Message
Upload an Image (Optional)
- Supported file types: JPG, PNG, or WEBP
- Maximum file size: 1MB
Enter the Special Event Message
- Example: “Following tonight’s performance, please stay seated for a post-show talkback with the cast and director.”
Optional Button Link
You can add a link (e.g., to a feedback form or RSVP page) with a custom button label.
- Example:
- Button Text: Learn More
- Button Link: https://theatrecompany.org/events
Step 6: Submit and Edit
Once your Pop Up is ready, click Submit to activate it on your Marquee.
You can make edits later in two places:
- The Components panel in the Marquee Database
- The dropdown menu at the top of the specific Marquee page
