The Lists tab explained

The Lists tab under the Settings menu allows you to:

• Manage article statuses
• Manage file statuses
• Control article types
• Manage user statues
• Manage feedback subjects
• Manage rating comments statuses

Article and file statuses

KBPublisher has four default article and file statuses: published, pending (approval required), draft and not published.

Use the Lists tab to add new statuses and modify existing ones. You control:

• The name of the status
• The color denoting that status
• Description
• Where the status appears in the list of statuses
• Whether the status is active
• Whether or not this status is published (which means users can see it),

Once you add a new status this status appears in the drop-down status lists on the User Privilege screen, so you can control whether or not users have access to the new status.

Add new article status tells you how to add a new status for an article.
