<aside> 📺 The purpose of channels is to present different "tabs" of activities to your audience. The number, title, logo, and content of channels are all completely customizable. Channels are especially helpful when you have different programs running on the same platform - a volunteering program, a sustainability program, and a charitable giving program, for example. A key benefit of centralizing all programs of a certain type within a channel is the ability to link directly to the channel.

Channels gather your Activities into branded collections that have titles, logos, headlines, descriptions, and banner images.

Channel Manager

Overview of Channels

Channels are a way to group Activities on the platform. This can be done to:

• Group Activities from a certain program together (ie a Giving Channel)
• Group Activities of a certain type together (ie an Events Channel)
• Group Activities for a temporary initiative together (ie an Earth Month Channel)

When you are creating Channels, think about how you will:

1. Thematically group activities so Users can find them
2. Enable easy program-based reporting (Activity reports are filtered by Channel)
3. Determine governance rules for which team members will have permission to publish based on Channel

This Success Center article will teach you how to design, organize, and populate Channels on your platform.
