Proposals

What Are Proposals?

Sophora's proposal feature facilitates your workflow. Place a document in the appropriate proposal section. Your document can then be reviewed by all editors who have access to the specified proposal section. They can then integrate the document into pages. The proposal feature is flexible. It allows you to pitch stories to your editors-in-chief, map internal workflows and to monitor news feeds and imports.

Proposals can be found on the tab Proposals on the start page. When you add components to other documents, you also have access to proposals.

Display Of Proposal Information On Cards

Each document in the search results is represented by a card. The first row of each card shows system meta information. The other rows of each document card show content from the document. The last row shows information about the proposal, not the document:

1. Priority 1 (high), 2 (medium) and 3 (low).
2. Author of the proposal.
3. Date the proposal was created.
4. Validity of the proposal.
