Publishing company events

Company events can be published via a publish plan or using Content templates to auto-generate publish plans. These auto-generated publish plans are inactive by default and must be activated for company events to appear in the portal.

About this task

Content templates

If you selected a Content template when you created the company event, the system generates the publish plans defined in the Content template. You can edit the auto-generated publish plans. The changes you make to publish plans do not impact the Content templates.

Note:

If the Content template is edited after the system auto-generated the publish plans, those changes are not reflected in existing publish plans.

Content availability vs Publish plans

Content availability defines when the content is available and the core audience who can access it. These parameters are set at the content item level.

Publish plans determine how and where content is displayed in widgets. Publish plans specify the widget location, audience visibility (which can expand the audience defined in content availability), and the timeframe for displaying the content.

Note:

Publish plans do not override content availability date settings. If a publish plan displays content outside of availability parameters (for example, before it is available), users attempting to access the content will encounter a message such as "Sorry, this isn't available".

To avoid this, content managers must ensure that publish plan duration dates align with the content availability parameters.

Procedure

1. Navigate to the company event that you want to publish.
2. Fill in the fields to define content availability:
