Managing Devices and Resolutions

To aid users in visualizing what your content will look like in devices other than a standard desktop or laptop machine, you can use the Site Editor Device feature to preview how content will look on a certain device size. This work with both standard content and with Audience Segments.

Before they can used, devices must be set up in Manage Devices screen. Three devices appear in the admin by default, web (standard laptop/desktop), tablet and phone.

To reach Manage Devices, go to Administration > Site Functions > Manage Devices.

Administrators can add other devices if wished.

• Each device will have both a minimum and a maximum width. This is the width between which any configured Audience Segment content will show for that device.
• For example, the default smart phones sizes are 320 and 480. Only devices uses a screen width between 320 and 480 pixels will see the smartphone content. devices with a width larger than 480 pixels will need a different device configured for them.
• There is also a Preview Width and Height. This is the size that will be used while previewing content in Site Editor, and should be a typical size for the device. You do not need to use audience segments to preview on a device size.
