Implement the News "Publishing" Process

In this section, we will:

• Create the NewsManagement permission that will be given to user we want to be able to publish news
• Create a "Publish news" button that will be available in the folder to enable bulk publishing

Create the NewsManagement Permission

1. In the Roles and Permissions menu item, right-click on Permission and click New Permission.
2. Give the new permission the ID NewsManagement.
3. In the drop down list, select "Workspace" and click the Add button.
   ×
   
   The new permission will now be available in the list of permissions on Workspace.

Create the "Publish News" Button

1. Create a new User Action called "PublishNewsButton". Its properties are:
   • Current user has permission: NewsManagement
   • Current document has type: Folder
2. Create the operation chain PublishNewsChain:

   - Seam.GetSelectedDocuments
   - Document.Filter:
       class: Any
       lifecycle: project
   - Document.FollowLifecycleTransition:
       value: approve
   - Document.Update:
       properties:
         dc:valid: '@{CurrentDate.format("yyyy-MM-dd''T''HH:mm:ss.SSSZ")}'
       save: 'true'
