Application Resources

Utilize your Application Resources

Utilize the Application resources folder to efficiently manage your background images/videos, logos, thumbnails, fonts and more!

By keeping all your resources in one place, you will streamline the process for creating a personalized and tailored Workspace. Uploading your resources is as simple as uploading any other contents.

⚠️ Important: Do not remove your Application Resources folder, as this may affect how your Showell App is displayed. Also, do not build your content structure in this folder, because it is hidden from your Workspace users. Use Application Resources only for its intended purpose.

Open the Application Resources folder

1. Open the Showell App for Web
2. From your Home Page, enable Edit mode from the top right corner
3. You'll find the hidden folder 'Application resources' - located in your folder list.

What's in your Application resources

The contents of your Application resources folder may differ depending on which Showell features are enabled and how your Workspace has been customized. The list below outlines which items you can expect to find, as well as which folders you can create yourself to maintain a clear, consistent structure in your Application resources. Do not delete any existing folders in this area, as doing so may impact how your Showell App is displayed.

What is most important for you:

• Backgrounds: By uploading your background images to this folder, you can easily access them from the background gallery.

• Thumbnails : By uploading your thumbnail images to this folder, you can easily access them from the thumbnail gallery.

• Fonts: Upload your companies personalized fonts to set for your Layouts and Templates.
  • If not available yet -> Create a folder named 'fonts' (lowercase) within your Application resources
  • Add fonts in .ttf or .otf file format to the folder.

• Logos: If you are working with one or multiple brands and templates, it can come in handy to keep your logos in one folder.
• Skyboxes: If you have 3D content in your Workspace, we can recommend to create the 'skyboxes'-folder (lowercase) to upload background images for your 3D content. When opening a 3D image with the Showell App, users will be able to select any background image from the Skyboxes image gallery.
