Is a Publishable Model
Indicates that Instances of this Model will be formally Published when they are ready --
Collection:
Required Type:
TrueOrFalse Type In some Spaces, particularly public ones such as blogs, FAQs, and other information sources,
you want to impose some structure when creating new Things. Instead of just making everything publicly
available as soon as you create them, you want to work on them for a while first, drafting them
privately, and then making them publicly available once they are ready. This step is called
Publication, and this Property makes it happen.
If you have a Model that you want to publish like this, add this Property and turn it on. This
will change the workflow for Instances of the Model in a number of ways:
- Newly-created Instances will have the Who Can Read permission set to the same value as the
Model itself. (You should usually set that to Editors only.)
- The Editor for Instances will gain a new button that lets you Publish that Instance.
- When it is published, the Instance will become Public. (This is the Who Can Read After Publications
permission; you can change it to something other than Public if you prefer.)
- The Space gains a Recent Changes page, which shows the Published Instances in Publication order.
- Once Published, Instances can later be formally Updated, which adds another entry to Recent Changes.
- The Space gains an RSS feed, so that Published Instances can be monitored from outside Querki. This
allows you to treat any sort of Querki information as a sort of blog.
