Publish Management for Assets
Use Publish Management properties to define the time period when an asset is available after being published. Keep in mind that, after configuring date settings, the asset still requires publishing, either via users executing a manual publish or via a scheduled publish.
To set publishing parameters or view publish history for asset items:
- Navigate to Asset > Assets Tree.
- Select an asset in the Assets Tree.
- Click the Properties tab, and then select Publishing Management in the Options menu.
The Publish Management settings display.
- Use the following tools to suit your needs.
- Set the Publishing Term date and time fields.
Fields Description Start Date and Time Use the date and time pickers to enter a Start Date and time, indicating when the published asset will display. End Date and Time Use the date and time pickers to enter an End Date and time, indicating when the asset will no longer display. Important: The values for Start Date and End Date are based on the CMS users' time zone and are stored in the UTC Time format. For processing, the DSS server uses these UTC entries for Start Date and End Date. These effectivity dates only define the time period when an asset is available after it has been published. You must still publish this asset, either by executing a manual publish or via a scheduled publish, after configuring the date settings. This Publish Management feature does not perform publishes or schedule assets for publish; rather, it only controls the rendering of the asset, given its scheduled Start Date and End Date. For more information about publishing assets, see Publishing System.
