Posting Articles

AVAILABLE TO: Administrators, Employees, and Customers

All registered users can create and post articles in the topic feeds associated with a Pulse system. The most common place for end users to create articles is in a topic feed (i.e., the embedded discussion form that appears under each topic in the Flare output). However, you can also post articles in any group, tag, or user feed that you have access permission to view.

How to Post an Article

1. Log into the Flare output using a registered Pulse account. See Logging In to Pulse.
2. Navigate to any Flare topic that has been mapped by a content developer to a Pulse feed. See Integrating Flare and Pulse.

3. In the topic feed, click Article. A text editor opens.

   

4. In the text editor, do the following:

   • Title Type a title for the article in the space provided. You do not have the ability to change the title of the article after you post it.

   • Body Type and format the body of your article. You can apply basic formatting for emphasis, such as bold, italics, and underline. You can also create ordered and numbered lists.

5. Click Share. The article is posted to the active feed.

What’s Next?

To receive a notification from Pulse, you must be subscribed to the feed where the status update was posted (see Subscribing to Communities and Topics). You must also enable the appropriate Pulse feature in the Notifications tab on the Settings page of your profile (see Editing Your Profile).

If you are responsible for moderating the Pulse feeds that are mapped to your Flare community or if you are just interested in participating in a discussion, you have several options for responding to an article. See Responding to Articles.
