Clicking CNAV Tools, Maintenance, Calendar Maintenance, News Desk Maintenance allows you to perform the following tasks:
The news desks that you maintain with this tool are the types that will display when you are asked to select a News desk during the process of adding a news item.
To add a news desk, click Add. CNAV displays the Calendar Maintenance screen. On that screen, enter the following information:
Code: Enter an abbreviated code to represent this news desk. You can use up to 10 alphanumeric characters. Example: ALUM for Alumni News Desk. This is a required field. Note that once you enter this field, you cannot change it. However, you can change the values entered in any other field on this screen.
Description: Enter a short, but useful, description of the news desk being added. This is a required field.
Approval required? Use this field to indicate whether or not this news desk will be assigned a gatekeeper. The gatekeeper, also called the Calendar Approval Group, will be responsible for individually approving news entries before those entries are added to this news desk within CNAV. When approval is required, a short delay will exist between when users add news entries and when those entries are approved and actually display.
Room approval required? Use this field to indicate whether a room approval group will also be associated with this news desk.
After entering all required fields, click Submit. Once you add a new calendar type, you need to add the calendar and room approval groups, if desired. If you selected Yes for these fields, an Add link will appear in the relevant columns. Click Add to access the Chooser and add the desired groups.
