Content Calendar

 

Overview

The Content Calendar is an exciting new view in our Author-type apps within Structured Content. This view provides an at-a-glance overview of your content's workflow status, as well as its publish and archive dates. Now, you can easily ensure your content goes live as scheduled.

App Information

Version 6.2 adds additional information to the top of the listing screen for each content type in Structured Content.

You can now see at-a-glance whether there is an Akumina Flow enabled for the list, as well as whether the list has approvals on or off.

Toggle Calendar View

To turn on Calendar View, click on the Calendar View button. Your preference will be saved when switching apps or re-opening the voice rail. To return to the List View, click the button to the left of the Calendar View button.

Status Filters

The items on the calendar can be filtered based on their status. The available buttons change depending on whether list approvals are on and whether the list is using Akumina Flows for content approval.

Created By Filter

The calendar can be filtered to show only the items created by the current user, or to show items created by everyone.

Item Detail

Clicking on an item in the calendar allows you to view its details, such as the creator, date created, publish date, and archive date. From here, you can click the ‘Open’ button to edit the content.

Content Lanes

Overview

Content Lanes is a new view in the Workflows module that allows approvers to visualize the approval status of content and move it between approval states. Content Lanes also allows the approvers to visualize whether unapproved content is past its publish date.

Select Content Type

Content Lanes displays articles from one content type at a time. To select the content type, choose it in the content type dropdown.

Select Date Range

By default, Content Lanes displays articles from the current month. The date range can be customized using the date range filter.

View Item

To view an article, click the 3 dots on the top right of the card and select View Item. This will bring you to the item in Structured Content.

 

Approve/Reject

Articles can be approved or rejected either by dragging the card from the Awaiting Approval column to the Draft or Approved column or by selecting Approve or Reject after clicking the 3 dots on the top right of the card.

Submit

Articles can be submitted either by dragging them from the Draft to the Awaiting Approval column or by selecting Submit after clicking the 3 dots on the top right of the card.

Unapproved items past publish date

If an item is not approved and its publish date has passed, there will be a red border and warning icon applied to the card to alert the approver.

Teams for Broadcast Messages

A new Teams delivery option has been added to the Broadcast Messages. Configuration is required to use this feature. Please contact Support for configuration details.

Teams messages have three fields:

• Message: the message that will be sent in Teams. This can be copied from the Broadcast Message or customized for Teams.
• Image: optionally, add a link to an image that will be displayed alongside the message if the chosen Teams Card supports images.
• Click Action URL: optionally, add a button that will open the given link when clicked if the chosen Teams Card supports the Click Action URL.

Teams Card Design

Similar to Broadcast and Newsletter emails, Teams messages have cards that can be configured in the Broadcast Center settings.

“Max” Writing Assistant

The new Writing Assistant brings generative AI into the Voice editorial experience. Using your organization's Azure AI license, the Max Assistant will help content authors create content, apply modifiers, and use editing tools to make sure all content meets your organizational standards.

Max can be used for multiline rich text columns and can be accessed by clicking on the lightbulb icon at the top right of the field.

Using Max, you can generate or improve text content, or you can generate images.

Default Image Configuration (Hive)

The default image can now be configured in Theme Manager for the RelatedNewsWidget, RelatedBlogsWidget, and CuratedNewsWidget.

Summary Links Banner Carousel View

A new carousel view was added to the SummaryLinksWidget.

This view displays links as a rotating carousel. The animation can be paused by mousing over the widget or clicking the pause button in the top left.

Summary Links Multilingual Enhancements

The SummaryLinksWidget no longer automatically creates a language version of a collection in all active languages when a collection is created. Instead, you can select which languages will have a version. If a language does not have a version of the collection, users in that language will see the content from the default language.

Language versions can be added after creating the collection by clicking the globe icon next to the collection.

You are now able to propagate (and optionally, to translate if autotranslate is enabled) changes from the default language to other languages.

You can choose to propagate and/or translate to all languages and fields, or just to a selection of languages and fields.

Customizable Favicon (Headless)

You are now able to customize the favicon on Headless sites. A custom favicon can be uploaded to /staticfiles/favicon.ico. This location is specified by the TemplateURLPrefix setting.
