Notes:

  • The Dossier field (when added to the Properties window) makes it possible to quickly add the article to a new or an existing Dossier. Choose one of the following options1:
  • Leave the field blank to not add the article to a Dossier.
  • Choose New Dossier to create a Dossier with the same name as the article and to automatically add the article to that Dossier.
  • Choose an existing Dossier to add the article to it (type any part of the name to quickly find a Dossier).

1 The system cannot be configured in such a way so that the Dossier field is automatically set to 'New Dossier' when the Properties window opens; the option has to be chosen manually from the list.

Step 7. Click Create.

The article is created and opened for editing.
