PAC Manager Guide

Everything your community's stewards need to author, preview, and deliver the PAC, from the first project to over-the-air updates.

Getting started

Open your People's instance

Open or create your People's project, learn what the Home board shows, and see how PAC Manager remembers your project between visits.

Sign in as a steward or admin

Sign in with the round button in the top-right corner to open the login panel and manage content in your People's POCA instance.

Identity: the Seal, the Wheel, and Your Name

Tend the community's great seal, dress every device's Gateway Wheel in your own culture patterns, and keep the community's name and web presence true.

The Culture Library

Organize the Culture Library

Browse and inventory card bundles for POCA apps, create new ones, edit and save them, and resolve card errors needing attention.

Fill in a card bundle's basics

Every card (the tiles of cultural data which make up the POCA intranet) shares the same top section: a cover image, a title and description, a fold of extra details, and a live preview of how the device will draw it.

App guides

Add a story: books, audiobooks, and codices

Bring a book, an audiobook, or a narrated page-by-page codex into your People's Stories collection via Amoxtli.

Add a health resource or emergency responder

Fill in a Pixli card for emergency and mental health services so your People can find help fast.

Build a playable instrument

Turn a photo of a drum, flute, or shaker into an instrument children can play: draw the touch zones, attach a sound to each one, and tune how it plays.

Author your People's calendar

Bring your own culture's day-count calendar to the Metztli app: cycles, day names, glyph art, and a live 14-day preview.

Write stories, object records, and discoveries in Ollin

Author articles, artifact records, discovery slides, and videos for the Ollin (Community) app, from quick details to the full-screen canvas editor.

Exploring your lands: specimens, trails, and the offline map

Create location, plant, animal, and mineral cards, draw walking trails with waypoints, and load the offline map your People's devices will use.

Teach words and build a language pack

Create word and phrase cards with pronunciation audio, and build a full language pack with translation pairs, provenance, and a lexicon.

Build immersive worlds in Teo

Create an immersive interpretation of a spiritual realm and story, set each stage's mood, bring in your own look with shaders and sprites, and shape levels in the live editor.

Reaching the People

Add a Community Ad

Create sponsor messages that appear once every thirteen cards on the device, set when they run, and fix anything the checks flag.

Load the PAC on POCA devices

Sync your People's content to a microSD card or a plugged-in device, maintain the registry of registered devices, and safely retire a device that leaves the People.

Reaching the People: publish updates over the air

Send new content (or one device's new configurations) to registered PACs through your People's server, no card swap required.
