This article describes how to work with channels in Plan & Release.
About channels
Channels are used to organize entities into different groups and publish them to an outbound connector, for example Content Store. Within a channel, it's possible to set up a node structure and link different entities to different nodes.
To create a channel
- In the Web Portal > Plan & Release, click the Create new entity icon in the top navigation bar and select Channel.
- Fill out the fields in the Create Channel window that opens. Note that any field name that is followed by a * is mandatory. Note the title you give the channel.
- Click Save to close the dialog and return to the Plan & Release dashboard, where you get an overview of all available channels and publications.
- Click the channel that you just created. An overview of the channel is shown.
- Click the Structure tab.
- Click the channel name.
- Click the Add icon to add a new node.
- Fill out the fields in the Create Node window that opens.
- Click Save.
To add a node
To add a new node on the same level as the top node:
- In the Web Portal > Plan & Release, click the channel where you want to add a node.
- Click the Add icon to add a new node and fill out the fields.
- Click Save.
To add a new node on the level below the top node:
- In the Web Portal > Plan & Release, click the channel where you want to add a node and make sure that the top node is selected.
- Click the Add icon to add a new node and fill out the fields.
- Click Save.
To publish a channel
- In the Web Portal > Plan & Release, click the channel that you want to publish.
- Click the Publish channel icon in the Channel toolbar.
- When the channel is published, the text that follows the channel name changes from unpublished to published. You may need to reload the browser to see the change.
To delete a channel
- In the Web Portal > Plan & Release, click the navigation menu on the channel that you want to delete.
- Click Delete.
To delete channels (or nodes) in bulk
- In the Web Portal > Plan & Release, click one of the channels that you want to delete.
- In the top left corner of the channel overview, click the Query Editor icon to open the Query Editor.
- Use the Query Editor and search for Entity Type + Equals + Channel (or Node).
- Select the channels you wish to delete.
- Click Delete Selection in the navigation menu of your Query results.
Note! Deleting a node this way will permanently delete it, as opposed to only removing the relation from a node without deleting it.
