Content Management and Organization (overview)

Decide on the “Topic” (folder) scheme for your content.

Content can be separated into different folders, or Topics, in the Atheer Lens app to make browsing through Content easier. We recommend that you follow the these best practices for creating and managing Content and Topics:

• There are Parent Topics and Subtopics
• All content should be assigned to a Topic or Subtopic.
• There is only 1 level to the parent/subtopic hierarchy.
• Use Naming Conventions to keep Topics and Sub-Topics grouped properly.

The figure below is a design for a Parent Topic/Subtopic hierarchy.



Example of using the 1-level Parent topic/Subtopic hierarchy and a good
Topic naming convention to organize and manage Topics. (This graphic is not from Atheer Studio)

Once you have your Topic/Subtopic scheme designed, implement that design in the Atheer Studio.

Implementing the “Topic” (folder) scheme for your content.

1. From a browser on your computer, open your Atheer Studio workspace, and sign into your account using your assigned credentials. Upon successful login, you will be presented with the Conversations home page.
   
   
   
   
2. From the Atheer Studio toolbar on the left side of the page, click on the Content button, and the Content page will be presented. To create and manage topics, click the   (Topics)  button on the top right corner of the page.
   
   
   
   
3. The Topics page will appear. In this page, you can create new topics or edit the existing topics. Click the NEW button to create a new Topic.
   
   
   
   
4. In the New Topics page, fill in the Topic Title, Visible To, Thumbnail, and Banner (optional) fields.
   
   
   
   
   • Topic Name: The name of the topic that will be presented in the Atheer Lens app
     
     
   • Description (optional): A written description of the Topic that appears under the banner in the Atheer Lens app. It also helps administrators and authors understand the reason for the Topic when they view it from within  Atheer Studio.
     
     
   • Visible To: Click on the (search) button to select the Audiences whom you would like to be able to view this Topic.
     
     
     
     
   • Thumbnail: A small image that represents this Topic and will be viewable within the Atheer Lens app.
     
     
     
     Activate the slider and drag the image file over the top of the Pick a File button and drop it, or click on the  (browse) button and browse to the image file and select it.
     
     
     
     
   • Banner (optional): A banner image that represents this Topic and will be presented at the top of the topic browse page in the Atheer Lens app.
     
     
     
     Activate the slider and drag the image file over the top of the Pick a File drop field and drop it, or click on the  (browse) button and browse to the image file and select it.
     
     
     
     
5. Once a Topic is saved, it can be set to Subtopic status by assigning a Parent Topic to it.  To assign a Parent Topic to your Topic, click on the (search) button in the Parent Topic field.
   
   
   
   
6. Select the title of the Topic you wish the Parent Topic, and click on the SELECT button.
   
   
   
   
7. Back in the Topic properties page, click the SAVE button at the top right corner of the page.
   
   
8. Once a Topic is saved, it can be assigned to Audiences, so users can see the content within the topic.  To assign Audiences  to your Topic, click on the (search) button in the Visible To field.
   
   
   
   
9. Select the title of the Audience(s) to which you would like this topic visible, and click on the SELECT button.
   
   
   
   
10. Back in the Topic properties page, click the SAVE button at the top right corner of the page.

Confirm that the Topic/Subtopic scheme is working.

Now that you have the Topic/Subtopic scheme configured, the Audience scheme configured, you can log into the Atheer Lens app on a mobile device and test that everything appears as it should.

In the Atheer Lens app, under Explore, you can see the Topics are presenting properly, and that the Topic thumbnails and banners are also presenting properly.
