Article assignment
You can create a draft of an article on the Assignment. You can then easily see a preview of the article and the reporter has already a draft to work on.
If you have chosen "text" as type of the assignment you can directly create a draft of an article or link an already created article.
Make a draft of an article
Click on Create article.
Write the headline for the article and click on Create.
When you have clicked on Create you see the article in the assignment. You can see it says "Not saved". That is because your assignment is not saved yet. As soon as you have saved the assignment, the article will also be saved.
TIP One tip is to add metadata ( as Topic and Category in the screenshot below) on the Assignment. Doing so this information follows to the Article automatically. If you had done this on the Planning already, the Assignment automatically will have this information.
The article will get the same unit as the one you are logged in as by default.
When you have created an article you need to save the assignment before anyone will be able to work with the article. That is because the article is only saved when the assignment is saved. If anyone try to work with the article before the assignment is saved correctly, the user will get an error message that the article does not exist.
When the draft of the article has been created, the reporter can start to work by open the article from the Assignment. Open the article can be done in three ways:
Clicking on the icon to the left of the article namn.
Dubbel clicking on the name of the article
Click once on the name of the article. A preview is now opened and there is a button called Open in Writer.
Link an already created article to the assignment
If the article already is created you can choose to link the article to the assignment. Click on Link article.
In the modal that is opened you can search for articles (1). You choose the articles you want to link to the assignment by clicking on them (2). To link the chosen articles you click on the button Link to assignment (3). If you have selected many articles you might want to see which articles will be linked? You can do so by clicking on View selection (4)
If you choose to View selection before you link the articles, you see a list of the chosen articles. If you want to remove an article from the list you can do this by clicking on the delete icon (1). If you want to go back and choose more articles you dot this by clicking on Continue search (2). If you are satisfied you click on the button Link to assignment (3).
If you want to use keyboard navigation when you link articles you use:
Tab = move between functions Arrow up and down = move up and down in the article list Enter = choose the selected function
When you have linked an article you need to save the assignment to get the linking to be saved.
