A small web page over the tour before it starts, with your logo, words, buttons into the tour and a video or area cards. How to make one.

The intro page is a small web page that covers the tour before it starts: your logo, a title, a few words, buttons into the tour, and a video or a card for each area. The tour loads behind it, so a visitor is in the room as soon as they press a button. This page lists every setting of the Intro page panel (Design tab > Intro page) in the **Design** tab, under **Look and feel** below **Branding**, in the order the panel shows them. The same panel holds the plainer choice, the **Start screen**: the branding's card with your logo, your words and a link.

**Who can do it.** The owner, and a collaborator whose role includes the **Design** tab (Admins, by default). **Save & Render** also needs the **Settings** tab in the role. Every plan can make the page and see it in the preview. Visitors see it on a paid plan, or when the tour is hosted; on a free tour that was never hosted they go straight into the tour, and the panel says so. In the **Basic** view the panel has the choice at the top, the templates, every block's words, pictures and buttons, the background and the **Accent colour**. The **Advanced** view adds arranging the blocks, their sizes and looks, the panel, the other colours, the fonts and **Showing it**.

**When visitors get a change.** The preview beside the panel shows it at once, switched on or not. Visitors get it after you click **Save & Render**, or after **Publish changes** when the tour uses Draft Workflows ([My changes do not show for visitors](https://www.panoramr.com/help/when-do-changes-show)).

## Turn it on

### Before the tour starts

The choice at the top of the panel, **Visitors see**: the **Start screen** or **Your own page**. It starts on the start screen.

**Where:** the Intro page panel (Design tab > Intro page), the card **Before the tour starts** at the top. Basic and Advanced view.
**Default:** `off` (the start screen)
**What it does:** **Start screen** shows the branding's card, and under the choice are only the parts the branding lets you change: **Show a start screen**, the tour logo (**Change logo**), **Start screen words** (your company's name, say), **Link text** and **Link address**. The card itself is fixed, the same on every tour: a white card with the logo, the words above the tour's name, a `Start tour` button, `How to use this tour` and the link. Which branding it is comes from **Branding**: see [Add your own branding](https://www.panoramr.com/help/add-your-own-branding). **Your own page** puts this page over the tour instead, and every other setting below only matters while it is chosen. A dot beside **Intro page** in the list shows that your own page is on.
**What visitors see:** With **Start screen**, the card over a blurred picture of the first room; the tour loads when they press `Start tour`, and `How to use this tour` opens a short card of tips without starting it. A tour that is not hosted always shows Panoramr's: Panoramr's logo, the tour's name and a link to panoramr.com. With **Your own page**, the page appears as the tour opens and stays until the visitor presses one of its buttons, or Escape. A link with `?intro_page=0` on its address always opens the tour without the page, for a web page of your own that frames the tour and wants it at once.
**Needs:** A paid plan, or a tour that is or was hosted, for visitors to see it. Nothing moves under the page: **Autorotate on idle** and the [Little planet intro](https://www.panoramr.com/help/little-planet-intro) start after it.
**Related:** [Themes](https://www.panoramr.com/help/intro-page#themes).

## Layout

These settings are on the **Layout** tab.

### Template

Choose where the page's areas are and what it starts with.

**Where:** the Intro page panel (Design tab > Intro page), **Layout** tab > **Template**. Basic and Advanced view.
**Default:** **Two columns, video** (`split-video`)
**What it does:** Eight templates, each a small drawing of the page:

- **Two columns, video**: words and buttons on the left, a video on the right.
- **Two columns, areas**: words and buttons on the left, a card for each area of the tour on the right.
- **Card in the middle**: one card with a logo, a few words, buttons and small links.
- **Card at the side**: a card at the left with the room beside it.
- **Words above, video**: the words and buttons in the middle of the screen, a video under them.
- **Video above, words**: a video in the middle of the screen, the words and buttons under it.
- **Words above, rooms**: the words and buttons in the middle, a row of the tour's rooms under them.
- **Rooms above, words**: a row of the tour's rooms, the words and buttons under it.

A template starts filled in: its buttons, and for the room templates four cards on the tour's first rooms. In the preview, a video or a logo not chosen yet is a dashed box: click it to choose one. Changing the template later keeps what you have written: each block of the new template takes the words of the old block of its type. Choosing a template also puts every block where the template has it, so a centred template centres them all.
**What visitors see:** The page laid out that way. On a phone it is one column that scrolls, with the right column under the left.
**Related:** **Words**, **Card size**.

### Layout (set by the template)

The setting `introPage.layout` says how many areas the page has and where they are. There is no control of its own: the **Template** sets it.

**Where:** Nowhere on its own; it follows the template you choose. Basic and Advanced view.
**Default:** `split` (two columns)
**What it does:** One of five arrangements: two columns, a card in the middle, a card at the side, words above the video or cards, and the video or cards above the words. The first and the last two have two areas, called **Left** and **Right** or Top and Bottom. The words are always in the first area and the video or cards in the second, so changing between two-area templates keeps both.
**What visitors see:** The arrangement of the template.
**Related:** **Template**.

## Content

These settings are on the **Content** tab. A tour in several languages has **Writing in** above the blocks.

### Writing in

Choose the language whose words you are writing.

**Where:** the Intro page panel (Design tab > Intro page), **Content** tab > **Writing in**. Basic and Advanced view. It shows only for a tour with more than one language.
**Default:** English
**What it does:** Each language has its own words in every block. A language left empty shows the English words. The preview shows the page in the language being written.
**What visitors see:** The words in their own language, or the English where none were written.
**Needs:** At least one added language ([Make a tour in several languages](https://www.panoramr.com/help/how-to-create-a-360-virtual-tour-in-multiple-languages)).

### Left and Right areas

The blocks of the page are in one or two areas, each shown as a card on the **Content** tab (`introPage.left` and `introPage.right`). This section is the first area, `introPage.left`: the left column, the area with the words on a stacked page, or the only card; the second area follows.

**Where:** the Intro page panel (Design tab > Intro page), **Content** tab, one card for each area: **Left column** and **Right column** (Top area and Bottom area for the stacked templates; **The card** or **The card at the side** where there is only one). Basic and Advanced view.
**Default:** The blocks of the first template: logo, small line, title, text, buttons and credit line on the left, a video on the right.
**What it does:** Click a block's name, or its pencil, to open it where it is and fill it in. The open block is outlined, with its fields inside, and clicking its name again closes it. A title left empty is the tour's name, and text left empty is the tour's description. A logo block with no logo of its own shows the **Tour logo** from Design > **Branding** where the tour has one (it says `Using the tour logo`); **Use a different logo here** adds one of its own. In the Advanced view you can also drag the blocks into order (on a keyboard, the up and down arrow keys on a block's handle), switch a block off with its switch, and take it away with the cross. A page holds at most 12 blocks in an area.
**What visitors see:** The blocks that are on and not empty, in that order. Click a block in the preview to open it in the panel.
**Related:** [Blocks](https://www.panoramr.com/help/intro-page#blocks).

### Right column

The area for the video or the cards, on a page that has two areas (`introPage.right`): the right column of a two-column page, the bottom area where the words are above, or the top area where the video or the rooms are above the words.

**Where:** the Intro page panel (Design tab > Intro page), **Content** tab > the card **Right column** (Bottom area on **Words above, video** and **Words above, rooms**; Top area on **Video above, words** and **Rooms above, words**). Basic and Advanced view. A template with one area has no such card.
**Default:** The second area of the template you chose: a video, or the area cards or room cards.
**What it does:** Holds blocks like the first area, up to 12, and is filled in the same way as the section above describes. On a template with one area it is empty and anything kept there is not shown.
**What visitors see:** The blocks that are on and not empty, in the second area: beside the words, or under or above them on a stacked page.
**Related:** [Blocks](https://www.panoramr.com/help/intro-page#blocks).

### Position

Put a block's words, logo or buttons at the left, in the middle or at the right of its column.

**Where:** the Intro page panel (Design tab > Intro page), **Content** tab > an open block > **Position** at the top. Advanced view.
**Default:** The page's **Words** choice (left to start with).
**What it does:** **Left**, **Centre** or **Right**. Until you choose, the block follows **Words** on the **Style** tab.
**What visitors see:** The block placed that way in its column.
**Related:** **Words**.

### Card size

Choose how big the cards of an area-cards or room-cards block are.

**Where:** the Intro page panel (Design tab > Intro page), **Content** tab > an open **Area cards** or **Room cards** block > **Card size**. Advanced view.
**Default:** **Small** for room cards and **Large** for area cards.
**What it does:** **Small** is four cards to a row, **Medium** three and **Large** two. A row that is not full sits at the left, in the middle or at the right by **Position**.
**What visitors see:** The cards at that size; two to a row on a phone.

### Show it in

Move a block to the other area, or above or under the video.

**Where:** the Intro page panel (Design tab > Intro page), **Content** tab > an open block > **Show it in** at the foot. Advanced view.
**Default:** The area the template put the block in.
**What it does:** Moves the block to another area. You seldom need it, as each template puts its blocks where they go.
**What visitors see:** The block in its new area.

### Add a block

Add another block to an area.

**Where:** the Intro page panel (Design tab > Intro page), **Content** tab > the foot of an area > **Add a block**. Advanced view. It is not offered once the area holds 12 blocks.
**Default:** none
**What it does:** Adds a logo, a small line, a badge, a title, a subtitle, text, facts, buttons, links, columns, a note, a video, area cards, room cards or a credit line.
**What visitors see:** The new block once it has words, a picture or a target.
**Related:** [Blocks](https://www.panoramr.com/help/intro-page#blocks).

Choose the picture shown before it plays, or leave the video's own. Switch on **Start the tour when the video ends** to go into the tour after an uploaded video.
**What visitors see:** A video that plays with sound when they press play. A YouTube or Vimeo video waits for the visitor to press play unless they have allowed embedded videos, because those players come from another company.

### Area cards

A card for each of the tour's groups of panoramas, or for the groups and single panoramas you choose, in your order.

**Where:** the Intro page panel (Design tab > Intro page), **Content** tab > an open **Area cards** block. Basic and Advanced view; **A coloured line under each card** and the area pictures are Advanced.
**Default:** **All of them**, with a **Heading** of `Or start with an area`
**What it does:** **Which areas** is **All of them** (every group, in the tour's order of groups) or **The ones I tick**. With **The ones I tick**, tick cards under **Add a card**: it lists each group, the groups that are part of it indented under it, and each group's panoramas under the group, with the panoramas in no group last under `Not in a group`. Tick a group for a card of the whole group, or a panorama for a card of that one panorama. **Search** finds a group or a panorama by name, and **Group** shows one group and the groups that are part of it. **Your cards** lists what you ticked, up to 24, in the order visitors see them: the arrows move a card, and × takes it off. Each area can have its own picture; a panorama card shows the panorama's own. A tour with no groups shows a note and **Use room cards instead**. The areas are the groups you make on the **Panoramas** tab.
**What visitors see:** A card for each area or panorama, in your order. An area's card says how many rooms it has and opens the tour on its first room; a panorama's card opens that panorama.

### Room cards

A row of the tour's rooms, each card opening its room.

**Where:** the Intro page panel (Design tab > Intro page), **Content** tab > an open **Room cards** block. Basic and Advanced view.
**Default:** four cards on the tour's first rooms

**What visitors see:** Cards that open the tour on their room.

**Where:** the Intro page panel (Design tab > Intro page), **Content** tab > an open **Credit line** block. Basic and Advanced view.

**What it does:** Up to 80 characters of **Credit**. The empty field suggests `Virtual tour by` and your Creator Name.
**What visitors see:** The line in small type.

## Buttons and links

Each button and link has **When it is pressed**:

- **Start the tour**: the page goes and the visitor is in the first room.
- **Go to a room** or **Go to an area**: the page goes and the tour opens on that room, or on the first room of that area.
- **Open a window**: the floor plan, the map, all the rooms or the room's information, where the tour has them.
- **How to use this tour**: a small card over the page that says how to look around, zoom and move from room to room.
- **Open a web page, email or phone**: type the **Address**. A web page (`www.example.com` is enough) opens in a new tab, unless you switch off **Open it in a new tab**: then the visitor leaves the tour for it. An email address opens the visitor's email app with a new message, and a phone number calls it on a phone. The page stays, so the visitor can come back to it and start the tour.

A button whose room or window the tour no longer has starts the tour instead, and so does one whose address is not a web page, an email address or a phone number.

## Style

These settings are on the **Style** tab.

Whether a visitor sees the page each time.

**Where:** the Intro page panel (Design tab > Intro page), **Style** tab > card **Showing it**. Advanced view.

**What it does:** **Every visit** or **Once per visitor**. With **Once per visitor**, a visitor who has started the tour goes straight in next time, in the same browser.
**What visitors see:** The page each time, or only the first time. A link with `?intro_page=0` always leaves it out.

## What visitors see

- The page appears as the tour opens and stays until the visitor presses one of its buttons, or Escape.
- A thin line along its top shows that the first room is still loading. A visitor who starts before it has loaded sees the room arrive as usual.
- The keyboard goes to the first button; Tab stays on the page.
- On a phone, the page is one column that scrolls, with the right column under the left.

## Themes

A design you save under **My designs**, on the **Themes** panel, holds the intro page's design when the page is switched on: its template, the order of its blocks and its colours and fonts. Its words, logos, pictures and video stay with this tour. Applying that design to another tour gives that tour's intro page the same design with its own words in it. It does not switch the page on there: you do that on the tour. **Reset to standard design** leaves the intro page as it is.

## Troubleshooting

**Visitors do not see the page.** The tour may be on a free plan and not hosted: see Who can do it above. Or the page they see was stored before your change: [My changes do not show for visitors](https://www.panoramr.com/help/when-do-changes-show) has the rest.

**A button does nothing.** It may lead to a window the tour does not have, such as a floor plan on a tour with no floor plan: it then starts the tour. Choose another target under **When it is pressed**.

**The area cards are missing.** A card is made for each group of the tour's panoramas. Put the panoramas in groups on the **Panoramas** tab.

## Video transcript: Intro Page

The Intro page decides what visitors see before the tour starts. Under Before the tour starts, choose the Start screen or Your own page. The start screen is a card with your logo, your words, a link and a Start tour button, and the tour waits behind it until visitors press Start. Here you switch it on or off and change its logo, words and link; its look comes from Branding. Choose Your own page for a small web page instead, with your logo, a few words and buttons into the tour. While this panel is open, the preview shows the page as they will see it, and changes as you edit. On the Layout tab, pick a template: two columns with a video or with a card for each area, a card in the middle, a card at the side, or the words above a video, or under it. Changing the template keeps what you have written. On the Content tab, open a block to write its words. A button or a link can start the tour, go to a room or an area, open a window, or open a web page, an email or a phone number. On the Style tab, choose what is behind the page, the overlay and the accent colour. Visitors see your own page on a paid plan, or when the tour is hosted.
