    • Basic Board: Add posts with titles.

      • List type: A view type that provides the title or first part of a text in a list form.
      • Card type: A view type in the form of a card that allows fans to view titles, content, and images (thumnails) at once.
      • Customers are allowed to select the view type on their own (ex. From List type to Card type).

 

  • Read Permissions
    • Manage the [Read Permissions] of the board. If disclosure is required only to members who have purchased membership, please select [Only Members with Memberships].
    • Customers with other membership levels will see the following message: "The selected content cannot be accessed with this option."
    • Customers may not be able to purchase products depending on the sales/display status of the membership. Please double-check before proceeding.
    • If you have not published the SHOP, it is not possible to set permissions.

 

  • Post Permissions

    • When set as [Stars, Managers Only] or [Managers Only], only members who have been granted "Star" or "Manager" role from CUSTOMERS > Members can write posts.

    • Post Permissions can be modified, and do not affect the Read Permissions.

       

      • Based on the settings for Read and Post Permissions, the following scenarios are possible:

      • Read Permissions: [Only Members with Memberships] - Post Permissions: [All members with Read Permissions]

        Membership holders, 'Stars,' and 'Managers' accounts are able to view and write posts (Members without membership cannot).

         

      • Read Permissions: [All Members] - Post Permissions: [Stars, Managers Only]

        All members are only allowed to view (Cannot write posts).

         

      • Read Permissions: [Only Members with Memberships] - Post Permissions: [Managers Only]

        Only members with memberships are able to view (Cannot write posts).

        'Star' and 'Manager' accounts are still able to view and write even if the Read Permissions are set to [Only Members with Memberships].

 

  • Other Setting
    • Private Comments: You can set the option for using private comments on this Board.
    • Hide from Star: Boards that are hidden will not be visible to Star. Set view and edit permissions to all members to make them exclusive to your members.
    • Secret Board: Private board for member who writes post, Manager, and Star posts only. Ideal for fan letters and other exclusive content.
      • Members with Read Permissions can access the board, but posts other than their own are displayed as secret, thus, they cannot access the detailed page.
      • In boards where both [Hide from Star] and [Secret Board] are set, they will not be visible to Stars.
      • Posts written by Stars and Managers in the Secret Board are not treated as secret, therefore, members with Read Permissions can see them.

 

  • Show/Delete
    • You can set whether or not to show to the public by clicking the switch on the left of each board.
    • When changing to Hidden, boards are arranged in ascending order under the [Hidden Boards] area.
    • You cannot delete a Board if it includes at least 1 post.

 

  • When all settings are complete, click [Apply] on the top right, and the board will be published to the service.
