INTEREST FILTERING
You have a screen in front of your spa and only want to display spa content there? Or do you want to manage for each screen which content will be shown? Then the interest filtering and tag filtering are great solutions for you as you can filter the content shown on a screen by interest.

Add the following to the URL: &interest=[interest ID]

https://ds.hotel-mssngr.com/hotel-mssngr/promptus-test-hotel/overview?daysToFetch=3&locale=de&mode=interactive&interest=45
HOW TO FIND THE INTEREST ID:
Go to Hotel / Interests (if you are using interests on brand level, go to the brand interests).

TAG FILTERING
You can also filter the content shown on a screen by self-set tags. This allows you more flexibility, but also requires you to maintain the content accordingly.

HOW TO ADD TAGS TO CONTENT
Per content (activity, directory entry, offer) you can add the tag.
Go to the detail page of each content you want to show on this screen.
Add the self-chosen tag name into the tag field. (If you don't see the tag field, you need to enable it on the brand level.)
MULTIPLE TAGS?
