Every Project you create has a set of Properties, some of which are set by your dominKnow | ONE site but most of which you can edit to meet your needs.
You can open the Project Properties panel several ways.
Every Project you create has a set of Properties, some of which are set by your dominKnow | ONE site but most of which you can edit to meet your needs.
You can open the Project Properties panel several ways.
One easy way is to select the Project name at the top of the interface then select Properties on the panel that opens.
You can also open the Project Properties panel by:
The Project Properties panel will open to the right of the Stage.
Here's a section-by-section run-down of the various properties available on the panel.
It has three tabs across the top:
At the bottom of the panel there are three buttons:
Metadata opens the Metatada panel where you can add and edit metadata for the project such as copyright statements, disclaimers and more. See below for more details.
When you make any changes to the Project Properties you need to use the Update button at the bottom of the panel to save your changes.
The Cancel button will cancel any changes you have made and close the Project Properties panel.
The Details Tab has sections for:
Settings
The top section of the Details tab is the Settings section.
The Settings section has fields for:
Organization
Categories
Selecting Add Categories... opens a panel where you can select categories to which you can associate the Project.
Details
The properties in the Details section are created and tracked by the dominKnow | ONE site automatically. They can not be edited on the Properties panel, except for the Compliance text which can be edited from the Metadata button.
They include:
The Cover Art tab has options for:
These are used by Themes.
Note: Not all Themes use all of these features.
Title Styles
When you add text to the Project title and Description fields on the Details tab, the text is plain text with no formatting available.
The Cover Art tab's Title and Subtitle fields let you add formatting.
For example, in the Title field you can set some text in italics, and it will be shown in italics on the top navigation bar in a theme set to display the Project Title.
The Subtitle text field can be used to provide formatted display text for the project Description field. The Tutorial theme, for example, displays the Project description on its home menu page. If you only have text in the Description field, the text will display as plain text. Using the Subtitle text field on the Cover Art tab you can add formatting such as bold, italics, etc. to be shown on the Tutorial theme's home menu page.
Note: Text added to the Cover Art tab's Title and Subtitle text fields are only used by Themes instead of the Title and Description fields on the Details tab. They do not replace the text in these fields within displays in dominKnow | ONE interfaces. So it is a best practice to have Description text on the Details tab as well as Subtitle text on the Cover Art tab.
The project's Hero image is used by the Storyview and Knowledge Base theme on their home (menu) pages.
You can use the Add drop down to set a Hero image.
The X button removes the hero image.
Note: You can also add a Hero Image on the Project's Insights panel.
Hero Icon
The Hero Icon is available for use in possible future features. It is not currently used by any themes.
The Icon button lets you add an icon from dominKnow | ONE's icon library.
The ... button lets you add an image file as the icon.
The X button removes the hero icon.
The Assignments tab displays Authors and Reviewers who have been assigned to the Project.
You can use the + Assign Authors or + Assign Reviewers buttons to add more assigned Authors or Reviewers.
Selecting the avatar for an Author or Reviewer displays their user card, which in this case displays how they have been assigned to the Project which can include:
You can use the Edit Assignment options (in this example, Edit Collection Assignments) to change the assignment.
At the bottom of the Project Properties panel is a button, Metadata.
Selecting it opens the Edit Metadata panel.
The Edit Metadata panel lists out the Project's metadata fields.
Some of these fields are available on the Project Properties's Details tab:
Several of the other fields are available for use as system variables within projects:
This means you can pull the information in these fields into text elements on project pages.
For example, you can add a text field to the bottom of pages and display the system variable for Copyright instead of entering the copyright statement into each text element individually. When the copyright statement is updated on the Edit Metadata panel, it will automatically be updated in all the on-page text elements at once.
Some of the fields are information-only:
When you make any changes to the Project Properties, use the Update button at the bottom of the Project Properties to apply the changes:
