Managing Issues in Content Station 10

Info: This feature requires Content Station 10.16 or higher.

Working on a publication within a Brand is a dynamic process: current or new issues need to be planned while published or outdated issues need to be made inactive.

Managing publications this way is typically a task of a Brand manager. In Content Station 10, new issues can be created while existing issues can be modified and/or deactivated.

The Issue Manager

Managing Issues in Content Station 10 is done in the Issue Manager.

It consists of 3 areas: (from left to right):

1. A list of all Brands that you have access to
2. A list of Issues for a selected Brand
3. The Properties panel

Figure: The Issue Manager.

Accessing the Issue Manager

From the Apps menu in the toolbar, choose Issue Manager.

Figure: The Issue Manager Application is accessed through the Apps menu.

Access rights

The following is needed to access the Issue Manager:

• You need to be assigned to a User group that is part of the Admin Authorizations of a Brand (with either limited or full admin rights).
• You need to have an Access Profile assigned in which the 'Planning' option is enabled (found under 'Applications', see Access Rights).

Creating a new Issue

Step 1. Click Create new... .

A window appears containing all the properties for that Brand. Which properties appear depends on the type of Publication Channel that is selected.

Step 2. Fill out the relevant properties.

Step 3. When done, do one of the following:
