Creating an issue of a publication

Creating an issue of a publication allows you to begin the process of putting an issue through an editorial workflow. For example, an issue can be a specific edition of a book, or an issue of a magazine.

To create an issue of a publication:

  1. Click the Administration node to expand it.

  2. Click the Publishing Manager node to expand it.

  3. Click the Publications folder node.

    A list of publications is displayed in the right panel.

  4. Expand a publication to view its Sections and Issues folders.

  5. Click the Issues folder.

  6. Select File>New>Issue from the menu or click the Create New Issue link.

    The New Issue: Create screen appears.

  7. Enter the name of the issue (for example, the publication date for the issue, or a special edition of the publication) and click Next.

  8. Enter additional publication information on the Info tab and click Next.

    Note

    Expand the issue attributes by selecting Show all properties.

  9. On the Permissions tab, set the permissions that other users should have for the issue. See ??? for more information on permissions. An issue must be readable by every user that must work on it.

  10. Click Finish.

    The issue appears in the Issues folder for the publication.
