This document provides an overview of the different content types within Tourismo.
Content Types Definitions
Regions
Regions are geographical areas (real or imagined) that encompass Listings and Itineraries.
Itineraries
Itineraries are a list of Listings (or Stops) within a Region. An Itinerary must exist to create a Challenge.
Listings
Listings are locations such as businesses, restaurants, parks, etc. Listings can be added as Stops to an Itinerary.
Stops
Tags
Tags are used to categorize Listings. Assigning a Listing a Tag makes them searchable by that Tag. Tags are created by the author.
Platform Levels
Platform levels represent the levels you can achieve within the app. They are assigned a Threshold of points. To reach a new Platform level, you must earn the number of points assigned to the Threshold.
Challenges
Challenges consist of a number of tasks one must complete to earn a reward. An Itinerary must be created first in order to create a corresponding Challenge.
Example:
In the Beer Quest App, the "Downtown Pub Crawl" Itinerary outlines the Stops (Listings) within an Itinerary. The Challenge is where you assign a Reward and the Tasks required to complete the Challenge. For instance, the Downtown Pub Crawl Itinerary has 6 Checkinable Stops (Listings). The Downtown Pub Crawl Challenge has 6 Tasks, which involve checking in at each Stop in the Downtown Pub Crawl Itinerary to get a reward (such as points, to be redeemed later).
