Creating Projects
111
For instance, the Financial project has facets for topics like Consumer Tips, Recalls, Stock
Market, and Taxes.
Every project has an ALL queue that displays in the Queue panel all stories associated with the
project and its facets. Any indexed story can be associated with a project or facet. Stories
associated with a project retain their original source queue location in the database; they do not
actually reside in the ALL queue. Stories associated with a project also retain their original
source permissions; therefore, a user without read access to a story’s source queue will not be
able to see that story in a project to which its associated even if the user has read access to the
project.
Every project has a QUERY queue—identified by the magnifying glass icon—which is the
search queue that runs the project’s query.
Every project has a BUCKET queue, which is an indexed queue that acts as the repository for
stories that do not exist anywhere else in the database. A user can copy, create, and delete stories
in the BUCKET queue. All stories in the BUCKET will show up in the ALL queue.
n
The BUCKET queue was first introduced in version 4.0 of iNEWS. When an iNEWS database is
upgraded to v4.0 from an earlier version, current projects get BUCKET queues; however, these
queues are not yet indexed, which is required for all stories associated with projects and/or
facets. After the database restore (
dbrestore
), the system administrator must run the command
dblines c:
to index the new BUCKET queues. After that an iNEWS user will be able to go to
the BUCKET queues and select their preferred index base.
Creating Projects
Before you can create projects, you must be logged in to an iNEWS Workstation as a user with
proper permission (user trait) to manage projects.
To create a project:
1. Select the Project tab.
2. Select Project > New Project from the menu bar.
The Create New Project/Facet dialog box appears.
