Suggesting Events for Publication & Publishing Events

By default an event is visible immediately upon its approval for publication to a target audience and is removed from visibility when its end date & time elapses.

Event suggestors can not only suggest an event, but suggest the period of time during which an event should be visible. Event approvers can override a suggestor's publication period or establish a custom publication period for an event. A publication period is defined by a start date & time as well as an end date & time on a per target audience basis.

There are two areas in which event approvers may manage the publication of events for their target audiences:

• Publication Manager

  The Publication Manager allows approvers to manage the publication status of 1) a single event across all target audiences for which they are approvers and 2) all events for a single target audience.

• The Event Manager's Publish Event Area:

Within Event Manager > Publish Event

1. Open the event that you wish to publish to one or more target audiences. The event will open within Sundial's Event Manager.
2. Click "Publish Event" in the navigation bar. The present publication status of the event with respect to target audiences will appear.
3. From the list of views presented for the "Publish Event" action list, select "Suggestible".

A central goal of Sundial is to provide maximum exposure of events to all appropriate target audiences. Through Sundial's Publishing Workflow System (PWS), it is possible to establish pathways between target audiences so as to publish events far and wide in an automated manner.
