New Reports

News Reports is where the stories will be structured. The user will be able to create, delete, view, select and consult the reports. Or also link the reports to assignments.

When there are reports created, all of them are listed according to the date of creation and it is possible to filter them by start/end date or slug. Later on, the concept of the grid will be explained.


CREATING REPORTS

As mentioned, you can create new reports or linked to an existing assignment.

Linking a report to an assignment

If an assignment already exists, when entering the Reports area, in the right corner there is an assignment drawer. I.E.:

By clicking on the icon, the screen below will expand:

 

At the top, there are some filter options. By default, the system already displays all the assignments for the day, but it is possible to combine other filters:

 

  • Slug: insert the slug;

  • Start date / end date: enter the search period you want to filter;

  • Program: insert the program for which the assignment was set;

  • Status: choose the assignment by status (producing, ready, completed and dropped)

After combining the filters, search result will be displayed.

When you find the desired assignment, click on the icon located on the right:

Doing this, the system will open the report form so that the story can be structured. As the document was linked, all fields that were filled in the headline of the assignment, were automatically filled in the header of the report.

 


To consult the assignment information, just click on More> View> History:

History will display all information on the assignment: Content, Guides and Tasks (if any).

In the upper corner, there are the Remove and Reassociate options.

When you click Remove, the assignment will be disconnected from the report. And the History tab will be emptied. In this scenario, it is possible to associate:

Clicking on Associate, the window below will open. Select the assignment date you want to link, select the assignment from the filtered results and click OK to confirm the association.

Clicking on Reassociate, brings again the side panel. Fill in the Start / End date to filter, select assignment to be reassociate and click OK to confirm the association.

After the link is done, fill in the fields as explained below in “Creating a new report”.

What differentiates a linked report from a new report, is only the immediate link and the automatic filling of the header. Besides that, the fields are exactly the same.

A newly created report, can later be linked to an assignment.
