Document Authoring
Welcome to Document Maintenance! The Document Maintenance Quest Applet allows
you to navigate through every document in the database. There are two types
of documents in Quest. Active documents which are on the web currently, and
Drafts which are working copies of Active documents. To view a list of documents
select one of the views on the left navigation window.
To Edit a document, simply navigate to that document and double click on it.
Or you can highlight it and press 'Edit'.
One of the more powerful features of the Document Maintenance Quest Applet
is that it allows you to create custom queries based on criteria you select.
You can create as many Custom Queries as you'd like.
The most powerful and dangerous feature of the Document Maintenance Quest Applet
is the ability to change up to 50 documents at a time. Read more about it by selecting the 'How To' on the left.
In Document Maintenance you really have 2 different types of Views. Views that contain Active Documents and views that contain Draft Documents. Active Documents
are documents that have been published and are viewable on at least 1 web site. Draft Documents are basically documents being edited. Drafts can be edited by many
different people and are not visible on the web until they are published. Once a Draft is published, it then becomes an Active Document and is viewable and searchable on the web.
A preview of a document can be seen at the bottom of the Document Maintenance window. To enable this preview, click on the toolbar button marked 'Preview On'. To turn the preview off, select the same button again
