| The Newsletter facility is restricted to staff with direct involvement in the creation and publication of newsletters. If you want to submit a story to include in a newsletter, but you are not generally involved in the production of that newsletter, you are advised to use the Tell Us system to submit your story. If you maintain a newsletter that is not published through Newsagent, and you want it to be, please create a ticket to request the addition of the newsletter. |
Newsletters
Newsagent allows individuals, or groups of individuals, to work together to produce newsletters - structured collections of stories published on a more or less regular basis, and sent via email or other transports to groups of individuals.
Two types of Newsletter exist in the system:
Manual release. These newsletters are not automatically sent by the system; instead a newsletter publisher must press a button in the Newsletter Editor to trigger publication.Automatic release. Newsletters configured for automatic release have a defined publication schedule. Provided the publication criteria are met, automatic release newsletters will publish the stories set for the newsletter without human intervention.
Manual release newsletters can be converted to automatic release mode by the addition of a release schedule, and vice versa.
Newsletters consist of one or more sections, and each section can contain zero or more stories. Each story in a section is a Newsagent Article. You may place multiple stories into a single article if you want, but doing so may prevent it being templated and styled correctly in the generated newsletter - one story/piece per article is generally recommended.
