Throughout BLOX, there are a number of fields that must be completed in order for an asset to be saved. If a field is required, it will be noted with a red dotted line beneath the name of the field.
Which fields are required when creating an Editorial asset?
The following fields must be completed in order to successfully publish an Editorial asset:
Title: All assets require a Title. In articles this acts as the web headline, in all other asset types it is the title of the asset. You cannot save an asset without a Title.
Start Date/Time: At the bottom of the asset editor are the Start Date/Time fields. Start Date/Time serves three purposes:
- Tells the system when the asset is allowed to become "live" on your site and be available to your readers (Start Date/Time only).
- Can be used in conjunction with block Query Rules to determine which assets should be pulled into a block.
- Used by the block Sorting Rules to determine what order assets should be displayed.
Section Tag: As a best practice, all assets should be section tagged so that content appears as expected on the site. An asset can be saved without a section tag, but it isn't recommended.
