Approving and Publishing Stories

Inception uses a two-stage publishing process. An Inception user must approve and publish a story before a social media site can display the story or an NCS running order can playout a story.

Only Inception users with the appropriate user permissions can approve or publish stories. The user permissions to approve or publish stories are individual permissions that the Inception administrator can grant to Inception users. Some Inception users may have permission to approve and publish stories. When an Inception user does not have permission to approve or publish stories, they must request another user that has the appropriate permissions to approve and publish their stories.

Inception enables story approval as following:

    Individual stories from the Story Editor

    Individual stories from a running order

    Through e-mail, as a response to an approval request.

Inception enables story publication as follows:

    Individual stories from the Story Editor

    Individual stories from a running order

    During playout of a running order

    Through e-mail, as a response to a request to approve publishing

Inception enables users with the appropriate user permissions to unpublish a published story or unapprove an approved story. After a user unpublishes a story, Inception removes the story from its social media site.
