Using Lists

You can add content items to lists using CUE, remove content items from lists, reorganize lists and pin content items in specific positions in a list. You can use lists as a workaround for some of the functionality that is currently missing from CUE. You could, for example, use lists instead of inboxes to pass "in progress" content items around between newsroom staff.

You can also use lists as a means of allowing CUE users to indirectly desk content on a section page. If, for example, you desk the top 6 items of a list called Top Sport in a specific area of your Sport section page, then CUE users can effectively desk content items in that area by inserting them into the top 6 positions of the list.

You cannot create or delete lists in the current version of CUE. Nor can you desk lists on section pages in CUE. You have to do these things in Content Studio. Once a list is created, however, you can add content items to it, remove them and reorganize the contents of the list.

To use a list:

  1. Make sure that the navigation pane to the left of the work space is displayed. You can show and hide it with the graphics/hamburger.png button in the top left corner.

  2. Make sure that the lists panel is is displayed (select the graphics/lists.png button if necessary).

  3. Select the list you want to use. This opens it in a list editor.

To add a content item to a list, drag it into the list and drop it in the required position.

To remove a content item from a list, select its graphics/delete-button.png button (on the left hand side of the entry).

To move a content item within a list, drag it to the required position.

To pin a content item in its current list position, select its graphics/unpinned.png button.

To unpin a pinned content item, select its graphics/pinned.png button.
