The DoubleDutch app comes preloaded with a standard set of sections that are most utilized by our customers, but you have the ability to customize your app menu with additional sections.
As part of the instructions below, we've provided you with some examples of sections to add and content to include.
To add a new app section, click ‘Add a New Section’ and:
- Select the type of section you need (e.g. Custom List).
- Enter the name as you would like it to appear in your app. Note that we recommend limiting the section name to 18 characters. Section titles that contain more than 18 characters have a section of the title cut off.
- Click the blue 'Save new section' button or press 'Return' on your keyboard. The newly created app section will then appear in your app menu.
The App Section Icon can then be selected. Pick from the list or upload a custom icon by clicking ‘Upload Icon’. Artwork should be a 320x320 PNG file.
A quick overview of the available app sections that you can add to your app:
- Custom List: create an interactive list of item names and descriptions.
- e.g. Create a "Local Attractions" list of nearby places of interest
- e.g. Create a "Local Attractions" list of nearby places of interest
- Web View: link to a website or web-hosted document. Attendees can access these sites right from the app.
- e.g. Link to your Facebook page or Twitter feed.

- Note: files must be less than 30MB.

- Exhibitors: this works the same as the exhibitor list that is already preloaded in the app menu. You can add additional ones if you want to separate out different kinds of exhibitors or sponsors.
- Speakers: this works the same as the speaker list that is already preloaded in the app menu. You can add additional ones if you want to separate out different kinds of speakers.
Please note that while you have lots of options for customizing the look and functionality of your app menu, you cannot add any duplicate native app sections such as attendee lists, activity feed, photo feed, interactive maps, surveys, or polls.
If you'd like the ability to differentiate among your attendee list, we recommend a few different options:
- using the "attendee groups" feature
- hosting a PDF in the app with your groups listed that attendees can reference
