Components
Understand the basics
Through components an administrator can enable and configure different participatory mechanisms. All components are available in all the different spaces.
When you create a participatory space, by default, it won’t have any component in it.
The platform currently have the following official components:
-
Accountability: allows to keep track of ongoing projects.
-
Blog: allows administrators to publish blog posts and news.
-
Budgets: allows participants to vote for projects with amounts predefined, for participatory budgeting for example.
-
Debates: allows participants to have debates.
-
Meetings: in person or online gatherings, agenda, minutes, etc.
-
Page: static pages with multi-language support.
-
Proposals: contributions posted by participants.
-
Sortitions: allows to randomly selected proposals.
-
Survey: for conducting surveys with different kinds of questions.
| In the cases where your needs aren’t covered by one of those components, you can create your own component through a Module. |
