Creating a Content Path

---

A Content Path defines a set of attributes for the news story or news stories associated with the Content Path. These attributes include:

The business process (approver workflow) that automates the approval process
When the news story is published within the application

News stories can be scheduled for publication in multiple locations, or stages, throughout the application.

The format in which the news story is published
When the news story is published in each of the stages
The approvers scheduled to approve the news story
The group of ERM users or access groups that have visibility rights to the news story

Group News administrators create content paths in the Group News Administration views; news authors associate content paths with news stories. Content Paths allow news authors to automate many of the processes associated with publishing a news story.

To create a content path

From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Group News Administration > Content Path.
In the Content Path list, add a new record, and complete the name and description fields.

The content path name and description should help news authors determine the appropriate content path for news stories.

TIP:  As part of the description, include information on which access groups are receiving the content.

In the WorkFlow field, click the select button.
In the Workflow Process Definition dialog box, query to find the appropriate Group News workflow approver process, and then click OK.
To make the content available to employees, click to remove the check mark from the Private field.
To make the content available only to specific groups of employees, click to check the Private Field.
You can specify the specific employee groups from the Access Groups view tab.
