Navigating the authoring portlet

You use different views within the authoring portlet to perform different tasks.

 

Index views

You use the index views to view lists of items you have access to. The index views you have access to are determined by the level of access you have to a specific library.

My items Within this view you can view lists of:

  • recent items (those items you have created, viewed or edited in the current session)

  • draft items (where you are individually specified as an author)

  • items pending approval (where you are individually specified as an author)

  • published items (where you are individually specified as an author)

  • expired items (where you are individually specified as an author)

  • deleted items (where you are individually specified as an author)

Any items that have a group you belong to specified as an author are not displayed in the "draft", "pending", "published", "expired" or "deleted" views. They only display items where you are individually specified as an author.

Forms and dialogs

When you create a new item, view an item or edit an item a form opens in a new tab within the authoring portlet. You can have multiple item forms opened at the same time.

When editing a form, some actions will open as dialogs. These will replace the current view until closed.
