Componentes

Understand the basics

A través de los componentes un administrador puede habilitar y configurar diferentes mecanismos participativos. All components are available in all the different spaces.

When you create a participatory space, by default, it won’t have any components in it.

The platform currently has 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: permite a los participantes tener debates.

  • Meetings: in person or online gatherings, agenda, minutes, etc.

  • Página: páginas estáticas con soporte para multigrado.

  • Proposals: contributions posted by participants.

  • Sortitions: allows to randomly select proposals.

  • Encuesta: para realizar encuestas con diferentes tipos de preguntas.

In the cases where your needs aren’t covered by one of those components, you can create your own component through a Module.

How to find it?

Components are accessible in each space, through the administration secondary navigation bar.
