3. Viewing stories on different pages

You already know how to enter a story in Kordiam. This article is about the presentation of stories on different pages in Kordiam. Specifically, it is about the following pages:

1. Dashboard
2. Short-Term Planning and Story List 

1. The Dashboard

The dashboard displays the data for the current day or the next possible issue. You can also display any other date. You can choose whether you want to display both, stories and events or just one of those. How to do that you will learn here. We just want to see the stories now.

As an example, the following story should serve:

After we have saved, we look at the entry on the dashboard. There it looks like this:

The story appears on the dashboard according to what you have entered (title, tasks, platform)

 

Above the story you can see what we call "filters", marked by Display data of ...

 

We want to go into that in a first step, because with these settings you "control", which content is displayed and which is not. You may have large datasets that contain many groups, platforms, and categories. Kordiam remembers the settings that you make here and includes them in your story planning and in the calendar. If you only want to see a small portion of the data for your work, these filter options will help you. These are the most important ones:

• Filter by groups
• Filter by publication platform and category

The filters described below are all located in the control area below the navigation bar. On some pages the filter options vary, but the following filters are mostly to be found.

Filter by group (department etc.)

If you are a member of a particular group or department, you are usually only interested in the data of that group.

From the first menu ("Display data of ..."), select the groups that are relevant to you.

The selection in this menu essentially has the following effects:

• Stories: Depending on what your administrators have done for settings, selecting this menu may cause you to see only publication platforms and categories edited by those departments (eg, you can only see sports pages if you select the sports section have selected).
  In many cases, however, administrators do not limit the choices, so selecting the department does not affect the scope of the list of related stories.
  However, the main filter for the story lists is the filter by publication platform and category (see above).
• Events: The selection of groups can filter the appointment or calendar lists in such a way that you can only view the appointments of the selected groups.

 

If you already have access to the groups of a company and you are granted additional access to the data of another company, you can or must select at least one group of this additional company in this menu to access the second menu (see below) To obtain publication platforms of this company.

Filter by platform and category

In the second menu you will find a selection of the publication platforms (for example, magazines, newspapers, websites, etc.) to which you have access or which have been assigned to the groups selected in the first menu by the administrators.

 

 

These publication platforms are divided into categories. Categories can e.g. the pages of a website or the headings of a magazine. Simply select the categories you want to view and click on "Enter". The selection is saved in your profile.

 

Please always pay close attention to the filter settings. If you cannot find a specific entry, it is usually due to these settings.

Next, let's look at the story entries in short-term planning and in a list view.

To 2. View stories in short-term planning and the Story List

2.1 Short-Term Planning

In short-term planning, you can display the story entries for up to 14 days or issues. You can set this via the small gear icon in the upper right corner (see screenshot). Please note that any filter settings that you made on the dashboard page are included in the story planning.

As an example of the entries we take the following story:

Now that we have saved this entry, it lands accordingly in our story planning. This looks like this:

The entries now appear in your planning, sorted by publication platform, always at the respective publication date. Surely you have noticed directly that a publication is missing. This is simply due to the period shown. We can now either extend the time span from 5 days to 9 days or adjust the date from which we display our entries accordingly. For the sake of simplicity, we will change the start date here. After that, we also find the publication for the publication platform Journal.

2.2 Story List

Now let's look at our entries in the Story List. Since the entries are displayed in a list, we can look at much larger datasets here. We can display up to 365 days. Again, previous filters are taken over with. If you should miss entries, please first look at the filter settings.

As the Story List is on our new technical framework, on this view you have more display options available. You can use multiple sorting, filtering and grouping options here. Also custom fields can be displayed on this view. Please read about how to use the Story List here.
