Publish a component from a profile
After you create a publishing profile, you can publish a component using the profile.
Requirements
- In your role permissions, you must have module access to the Publishing module to complete work with publishing profiles.
- An Inspire administrator can define at the user and role level whether the Publish action is available.
By default, only administrators can publish content in Inspire.
- You can see the Publish option only if you're an administrator or have the can_publish module property.
Tips and tricks
- Publish on demand. If you want to publish only once on demand, you can use a publishing profile to manually send a component or map to be published, and it occurs right away.
- Schedule publishing. If you want to publish content on a regular basis, you can enable an option to schedule the time and frequency when a topic or map is published. You must use publishing profiles to create and manage the schedule. For more details, read Schedule publishing.
- Use tokens. You can use tokens when publishing components or in a publishing profile. For help using tokens to publish components from a profile, follow the steps in Publish from a profile with tokens.
- Know your options. You can also publish a component in the following places:
- Components Browser
- Map
- Projects
- Snapshot
See the profile name in Publish server
- When you publish from a profile, you see the name of the profile you used in Publish server.
- If you publish from a component's
Action menu, the Profile column is blank.
- For more details, Track jobs in Publish Server.
- See the Job ID. After you publish from a profile, you can go to the Publishing Profiles tab to show the publishing job Id column.
- The Id column is hidden by default.
- When you save the Publishing Profile list to a CSV
, it contains new Id column and its data.
- Set notifications. If you have changed the defaults, make sure you have configured your notifications. Follow the steps in Set notification preferences for publishing.
The Publish Configuration option is no longer available. This option was removed to avoid conflicting logic between settings in a Publish Configuration and a Publishing Profile. All publishing configuration information now comes only from the Publishing Profile.
