The Mobile and Web platform allows you to create a rich and interactive communication platform for your audience. This guide provides instructions on setting up your Korbyt Anywhere Mobile, Web, and Email service and getting started with communicating with your audience.

This article covers many of the common steps to set up your system, and is not meant to be exhaustive of everything Korbyt can do.

Logging In & Navigating the CMS

To log into the Korbyt Anywhere Content Management System (CMS) navigate to Korbyt.com/login

  • A Chrome or Edge web browser is required for full functionality

  • Enter your email address and password or use the SSO service configured for your tenant

  • When you log in you will be viewing the dashboard for your service

    • If you also subscribe to Korbyt Signage, you may have to select the Mobile & Web service

  • The different sections of Korbyt can be opened through the Sidebar Navigation

    • The Sidebar can be expanded to show full names of sections or collapsed down to just show Icons

    Or you may have our Mega Menu-based navigation

    • 1 - The Mega Menu in the upper left, click to open all the working sections

    • 2 - The system selection to switch between Signage and Mobile & Web

Set your Branding

You can control the icons and colors that your Mobile and Web experience shows.

To set your Branding, refere to Branding Controls For Mobile & Web

These branding settings are shared by all parts of Korbyt you may be using.


Adding End Users and Audiences

End users are the individuals who will view and interact with your Mobile & Web news feed via the Mobile app or Web Browser.

Having an account as a Content Manager with access to the CMS does not create an End User account that allows you to login and view the platform the way your audience will see it.

They are two seperate types of user accounts and you can have one of each if needed.

If you are not ready to roll out to your entire audience yet, it is still advisable to create initial end-user identities for yourself and others who will be performing the initial setup of your Mobile and Web platform.

Audiences are a feature in the CMS that lets system administrators group users by various characteristics and lets communicators post items to specific audiences. Audiences can be defined by geography, role/position, tenure, or any other attribute to help you target communications for your organization.

You can create audiences at any time, and individual people can be members of multiple audiences.

It is suggested to create a Test or Tester Audience so you can see the effect as you set up the tenant.

Adding End Users One at a Time

You can also add multiple people in a file upload, see One-Time Import of a User List

To add a single End User one at a time:

  • In the Users screen described above, click on the Add Users button and select Single Users

  • Fill in the required information (*)

  • Optional - Click on the button to select the Audience.

    • Audience Membership is how specific messages are targeted to a group. It can be set when creating a single user or managed later in the Audience menu

  • For the Password, you can select any password you would like

    • If you use Default1! as the new user’s password, they will be prompted to change it the first time they log in

  • Click on the Save Button to complete the action of adding a User

  • The user has now been created

Creating an Audience

Audiences can be created by statically selecting individuals or by defining a dynamic rule to select individuals for that audience.

To Create A Static Audience

  • Select the Manual selection of users radio button under the Audience Defined by section.

  • Select the appropriate users.

  • Click Add to add them to the Target Users column.

  • Click Save.

To Create A Dynamic Audience

  • Leave the Rules radio button selected under the Audience Defined by section.

  • Click Add Rule in the lower left

  • Select an attribute (Joined, User Activity, Subscriber, Engager, Resource User, or any user attribute defined in the CMS).

  • Select includes the User, or does not include the user from the drop-down.

  • Set additional parameters based on the selected End User Attributes.

  • Click Save.

Creating a News Feed Post

In the Korbty Mobile and Web platform, the primary communication method is through the Newsfeed and the posts that have been published for a user to see based on their Audience membership and Category subscriptions.

There are many options for what type of news feed post to create.

Creating Categories

Categories help communicators organize posts by themes or topics of content. In the Korbyt Anywhere Web Experience, you can discover any curated content that has been shared with you in the Categories page. Subscribe to categories that are interesting or relevant to your role to personalize your news feed.

Categories are optional, but can help users have the most personalized experience, which will increase engagement

For details, seeCategories for Mobile & Web Posts


Managing Your Associated Media

Images and videos you add to posts are stored in the Media Manager, along with any images used as icons for Categories.

You can also upload documents to be used as Resources in the Mobile and Web program, sharing a PDF with users to easily download, for example

Uploading Items into the Media Manager

The Media Manager is the central library where all assets are stored and categorized by folder. Assets can be images, videos, audio, and document files.
