Items displayed on menus depend on features used by the publication and permissions granted to the Publisher role. The Publisher role may have access to up to three menu tabs: Main Menu, Production Tasks, and Enterprise View.
Note: The second tab may appear just as Tasks. Users who see this label have permissions to use the Task Manager feature, which enables them to perform tasks on submissions before they have moved into production. These users may not see folders listed below that relate to production.
The Main Menu may include the following sections and folders:
A Search Submissions link appears in this section (if Publisher role has the RoleManager permission, Search Submissions). For information about searching, see Search Functions.
Link in this section provides access to the Accepted Submissions folder (if Publisher role has the RoleManager permission, View All Accepted Submissions). Submissions in this folder have a Final Disposition of "Accept" or "Accepted on Submission."
Links appear to two folders: Active Linked Submission Groups and Inactive Linked Submission Groups (if Publisher role has the RoleManager permission, View Linked Submission Groups). These folders contain the Linked Submission Groups defined by the publication. For details, see Linked Submissions.
Links in this section provide access to folders containing submissions that require attention after editing by the user. For details, see Publisher Edits Submission.
Incomplete Submissions contains PDF build failures and submissions that the user started to edit, but did not finish by building the PDF. This folder is suppressed if there are no incomplete submissions.
Submissions Needing Approval contains submissions for which the user has rebuilt the PDF but has not taken further action. The user must view and approve the PDF. This folder is suppressed if there are no submissions that require approval.
