Create the page guests see after they tap or scan a TAPPDATT device.

What this guide helps you do

This guide helps you create your first page in TappDatta. A page is what people see after they tap or scan a TAPPDATT device. Examples include a restaurant menu, church welcome page, hotel room page, DJ event page, fundraiser page, or information page.

Estimated time: 5-10 minutes

Before you start

  • You have access to your TappDatta dashboard.
  • You know the business, event, room, table, or location this page is for.
  • You have the main text, logo, colors, and guest actions you want to show.

What you'll need

  • Dashboard access
  • Page title
  • Short subtitle or welcome message
  • Logo or brand image, if available
  • Buttons, cards, or actions guests should use

What is a page?

A page is the destination experience your guests or customers open from a tap or scan. The page can show helpful information, buttons, service requests, event actions, or links your team manages.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Open Pages. Go to Dashboard - Pages. You should see your available pages or a button to create one.
  2. Create a page. Choose Create page or New page.
  3. Add the page title. Use a name guests will understand, such as Bella Monica Menu, Room 201 Guest Help, or DJ Song Requests.
  4. Add a subtitle. Keep it short. Explain what guests can do on the page.
  5. Add branding. Upload or select your logo if available. Choose brand colors that are easy to read on mobile.
  6. Add cards or actions. Add the buttons or cards guests should use, such as menu, help request, check request, prayer request, event information, or song request.
  7. Save the page. Choose Save. Saving keeps your work. It does not always make the page visible to guests.
  8. Preview the page. Open the preview if available. Check the page on your phone before publishing.

Save vs. publish

Draft means private and not yet visible.

Published means visible to guests/customers.

You can save and preview your page before publishing it.

Checklist before publishing

  • Title looks correct
  • Branding looks correct
  • Buttons and cards work
  • Content makes sense on mobile
  • The next step for guests is clear

What success looks like

Your page is saved, easy to read, and ready to preview. If it is still a draft, guests cannot see it yet. Publish it when you are ready for guests to open it.

Common mistakes

Common mistake: The page has too many buttons.

Fix: Keep the first version focused on the most important guest action.

Common mistake: The page looks good on desktop but crowded on mobile.

Fix: Preview from a phone before publishing.

Troubleshooting

  • If your changes do not appear, save again and refresh the preview.
  • If a button opens the wrong place, edit the button and check the link or action selected.
  • If the page is not visible to guests, check whether it is still a draft.
  • If the page is published but the TAPPDATT device opens something else, connect the device to this page and test again.
