The Approved page contains all your published and scheduled Content. Here, you can keep tabs on the Content eligible for your News Digests and other channels, and see what future Content you have set to be published.

You can access this page by going to Content > Approved. Once there, you will see your Content listed in chronological order, starting with the latest publish or scheduled date.

On your Approved page, you will see the following columns of information:

Post

This column contains the image and title being used to represent the piece of Content, and this is what Subscribers will see inside their News Digest and on the Content Archive page.

Publish Dates

This column contains the Publish Date, Circulation End Date, and Expiration Date.

If you see a green tree and "Never Expires” in this column, this means the Content is Evergreen; therefore, it will never expire unless it is assigned an expiration date.

Segments

This column contains the name of any Segments targeted or restricted to your piece of Content inside the Distribution Settings.

Categories

This column contains the Categories that have been assigned to this piece of Content. Categories can be assigned manually or auto generated if the Content is pulled from a source.

Source

This column will show if the piece of Content was pulled from a source or if it was created manually. If the Content was created manually, this column will be blank. If it was pulled from a source, you will see the source title listed.

Campaigns

This column lists all Campaigns the Content is currently added to. Content can be added to up to 4 Campaigns.

Under each post image, you can see the following actions:

As you probably noticed, some of these icons are only available on certain pieces of Content. The Copy Content and Share Link icons are only available for Content that is manually created and hosted by Cerkl Broadcast.

Near the top right of the Approved screen, you will see a Calendar button. Click this button to access a calendar view of your Content.

In Calendar View you will see which pieces of Content are published, eligible, or expired on each day. You can view Content that is eligible to be sent in the future using the arrow buttons next to the month and year. To return to the current month, click the This Month button.

The colors you see throughout the calendar tell you more about the Content and dates:

Red

The day the piece of Content will expire and become ineligible for News Digests.

Green

The day the piece of Content will be published and become eligible to be sent in News Digests.

Gray

The piece of Content is eligible to be included in a News Digest on that day.

Blue

The piece of Content has reached it Circulation End Date, and will be Archived on this date.

Yellow

Indicates Important Days created by Administrators in your Instance. If a scheduled Digest send coincides with a skipped Important Day, the audience will not receive a Digest until their next standard scheduled send.

Once you are finished looking at the calendar view, click on the table button (located to the right of the This Month button) to return to the table view.
