Overview

In the Pladia Console, each Object can be linked to a Creator in your collection. You can add Creators directly while creating an Object; however, many users prefer to add all their Creators beforehand for a smoother setup experience. You can link one creator to multiple Objects.

Tip: In the Empower PWA, Creators are currently displayed just below the object description. We have new features on the roadmap to expand the way you can leverage Creators in the future!

Create a New Creator

  1. Navigate to Creators from the left navigation in the Console.
    ​

  2. Select Create Creator on the right-hand side of the screen.
    ​

  3. Add your Creator Name, Dates, and External ID (the ID associated with the Creator in your other systems of record).
    ​

  4. Creator hero images don't appear anywhere in the Empower PWA.
    ​

  5. Once completed, select Save New.
    ​

  6. This Creator is saved and ready to be attached to an Object.

Manage and Edit Creators

  1. To edit a Creator, click the Creator's name in the list.
    ​

  2. Once you have finished editing, select Save.

Tip: After adding your Objects to the Console and associating them with Creators, you can easily view a list of all associated Objects under the Creator β†’ Appearances tab.

Delete a Creator

Deleting an unwanted Creator will remove the record from the Console. It will also remove any attachment it has to your Objects in the Empower PWA.

  1. Navigate to Creators from the left navigation in the Console, and click the context menu (three dots) next to an item.
    ​

  2. Select Delete to remove it from the Console.
    ​

  3. You can also use the context menu from the creator detail page to select Delete.

Confirm Your Changes

After you've added or edited your Creators, complete the release process to make the content visible to visitors. Creators are automatically ready to be included in the public release as soon as you save them.

  1. Release to Public from the Releases page in the Console.

Note: If you delete a Creator, any linked Objects will appear on the Releases page, letting you know the associated content must be released before the change is visible in the PWA.

You're all set! Contact Customer Success if you have any further questions.
