An Overview Of Adding and Managing Networks
Monarch makes it extremely easy to set up, order, and manage social sharing networks and your social network profiles.
The dashboard breaks your network setup into two locations: Sharing and Following, described in detail below.
Social Sharing: Manage Networks
Add Networks
This button will open a modal window of all available social sharing networks. From here, you can select networks, deselect networks, and see networks you may have already selected. Applying your selections will update your network list.
Arranging Networks
Arranging your networks into a specific order is as easy as dragging and dropping.
Network Label
By default, Monarch uses the network names as the button labels, but you can type in whatever label you would like. For example, you can use labels such as Tweet This, Share This or Pin This instead of using network names.
Twitter Handle
If Twitter is added to your list, you can input your Twitter handle so that when people tweet a page, your Handle is automatically inserted into their tweet text.
Social Follow: Manage Networks
Add Networks
Clicking this button will create a modal window of all available social following networks. From here, you can select networks, deselect networks, and see networks you may have already selected. Applying your selections will update your network list.
Arranging Networks
Arranging your networks into a specific order is as easy as dragging and dropping.
Network Label
By default, Monarch uses the network names as the button labels, but you can type in whatever label you would like. For example, you can use labels like Follow Us or Subscribe instead of network names.
Profile URL
This link allows Monarch to link to your social profiles when a visitor clicks a social follow button.
Follow Count
In these fields, you can input your follow counts. Most networks require that you manually input and update these numbers, but in the display setting below, you can enable API counts for select networks.
Social Follow: Display Settings
Get Counts Via API
Checking this will enable all networks with a follow count API to display your follow counts dynamically. To learn how to set these up, see the Network API Documentation.
Open the Link in the New Window
This option lets you define whether or not you want your social profile to open up in a new browser window.
