Scheduling, Reviewing and Archiving Articles

The article schedule tab lets you turn articles on and off, schedule when changes appear, set review and update reminders and archive the article at a certain time.

Hide an Article

You can remove an article from your site without deleting it.

  1. Open the "Schedule" tab
  2. Set the "Display" option to "No"

The article won't be available on your site and won't appear in search results.

Schedule an Article to Go Live

A brand new article can be set to appear on your site in the future.

  1. Open the "Schedule" tab
  2. Set the "Display Start" date to a future date and time
  3. "Submit" the article. The article will remain hidden from your site
  4. The article icon will appear greyed-out until the start time is reached. When the start time is reached the article will go-live and behave like any other

Updates to existing articles can also be set to appear in the future

Set up Reminders to Review an Article

These options are used in conjunction with the iCM Content Settings. Update reminders are first sent to article owners, but will be escalated to other iCM users after a set time. The Stale Article Check scheduled task will also need to be running.

  2. Check the "Archivable" box
  3. Enter the date and time on which the article should be archived
  4. Select the parent beneath which the article should be moved
