Content Gating

You can use Content Gating to require users to identify themselves on a form before viewing content items. 

Content gating is set at item level for each item separately and not for all items in the Content tab.

To add content gating, you must perform the following two steps: 

1. Enable gating in the Content tab. 
2. Add a gating form as a floating section a board. 

Enabling content gating 

1. Select a board.
2. Choose the content item that you want to gate. The Edit Item dialog opens. 
3. Open the Visibility tab. 
4. Under Audience Permissions, select Gating from the drop-down list.
5. Click Save. A lock icon appears on the gated item.

6. To set the position of the gated form on the board, use the grid layout. To fine-tune the vertical or horizontal positioning, set a number in the relevant box.
