Pub Details
A Pub Details page provides an overview of a Pub, associated Fields and Field Values, and information for managing the Pub.
On the left side of the page, Fields associated with that pub will display with Field Values. Any attached files to the Pub may be downloaded on this page.
On the right side of the page, the following headings may appear:
- Current Stage: the Stage where the Pub is currently located
- Actions: a “Run action” button. If selected, a dropdown menu will list available actions that can be run on this Pub
- Members: a list of Members that have access to the Pub & their level of access. New members can be added by selecting Add Member.
Related Pubs
PubPub Platform allows users to connect content to other content in the community, and to name that relationship, providing greater context around a Community's outputs. For example, the Related Pubs table allows users to:
- See the status of all Pubs by a specific contributor
- Connect articles of an upcoming issue
- Group together all the materials of an evaluation package for peer review
Once a reference Field is attached to a Pub, a Related Pubs table appears on a Pub Details page.
Don't See This Table?
If the Related Pubs table does not display, there are no reference Fields attached to the Pub. Learn more about reference Fields on the Fields Dashboard.
The Related Pubs table includes all related Pubs based on specific reference Fields, filtered by Pub Type. Each Pub Type with an existing related Pub is listed here, along with a count of how any Pubs of that Pub Type exist.
This table displays:
- Title: the Title of the related Pub
- Stage: the Stage in which the related Pub is currently located
- Created: the date the related Pub was created (displayed as MM/DD/YYYY)
- Actions: a “Run action” button. If selected, a dropdown menu will list available that can be run on this Pub.
This table will also display any columns with the MemberId schema.
Add a Related Pub
To add a Related Pub, select the Add Related Pub button above the table.
A pop-up will appear to establish the related Pub's configuration:
- Pub Type: the Pub Type of the related Pub. This will determine which form appears for creation on the next screen.
- Relationship: the Field on which the related Pub is related to the existing Pub. The dropdown of fields is dependent on the Pub Type chosen above.
Once both of these dropdowns are configured, select the Create Pub button. The screen will shift to a typical Create Pub form for that Pub Type with an Related field value alert:
This alert will name the Pub to which this one is related and the Field on which it will be related. Complete this field and the form as normal before selecting Save in the upper-left corner.
Once the Pub is saved, the related Pub will appear in the related Pub table. A Pub Type tab will be added or updated to reflect the number of related Pubs of that Pub Type.
