In TIMONE Plan, the word "Editorial" refers to the pages that compose a story, an editorial service. An editorial corresponds to what will become the InDesign file in the production environment. In TIMONE Plan you define for example that a story shall have a specific quantity of pages, a title, that it will go into a specific section, that it will go on specific pages within the issue, ecc..
If the system is used in integration with an editorial production system, from TIMONE Plan you can assign an InDesign layout template to this story and you can automatically create the InDesign file for this story. If you change position of the story in the flat plan, the page numbering in the InDesign file is automatically changed by the system for the designers, etc.
The interaction between planning and production environments with reference to Editorials shall be treated more specifically in a proper section.
Let's now focus very simply on how to create an Editorial in TIMONE Plan.
To create a new editorial, it is necessary to follow the steps below:
1) Open the Issue and choose the tab “Editorials”
2) Click on the icon containing a green +;
3) Fill in the fields in the window showing up on the left side of the screen
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Title* | the title of your editorial |
| File | this value is automatically filled in by TIMONE System as soon as the editorial is in sync with an editorial system |
| Quantity | the number of pages of the editorial (this quantity can be changed also later) |
| Notes | additional notes about the editorial |
| Section | the section of the editorial |
| Dossier | the WoodWing Enterprise dossier the editorial shall be contained in |
| Editorial Template | the layout template to be used for creating the InDesign file in the editorial system (the same layout templates are available in both TIMONE Plan and editorial system |
| Status | the workflow status of the editorial (the workflow part which needs planning and production to be synchronized will have identical workflow steps in both TIMONE Plan and editorial system). In TIMONE Plan you can have also additional workflow steps (for example "Planned", when the editorial service is only planned but not yet in production). The status is automatically assigned to editorials based on the work in progress. |
