  • When an Item is in Draft click Edit Item Details

  • From this screen the ability to add an Author is possible

  • The Users available to be an Author will appear in a dropdown menu

  • From this menu you can select a single (or multiple) Author(s)

 

The Author field can be used as a filter when searching for Items owned or written by a particular User:

 

Notes:

  • Changing an Author is only possible when the Item is in draft state

  • An Item can have more than one Author

  • If, when first creating an Item, the Author field is left blank, then the User creating the Item will be assigned as the Author

  • When importing items a new mandatory column is added to the example XLSX file. This column doesn’t have to contain data but it has to be there when importing. Only a username already existing in Practique is accepted in that field.

Tips:

  • If an Item needs a new author but the organization wants to keep the old item and author then instead of creating a new version user should Clone the item.
