Publication rules

Publication behaviour depends on the selected document type and organisation configuration.

  • Only document types that support publication follow the publication workflow.
  • Audience options depend on the targeting capabilities and assignments available for that document.
  • Publication can occur immediately or on a future date when scheduling is available.
  • Quiz support applies only to document types configured to support quizzes; publication may require a quiz where the workflow enforces one.

1. Create a quiz

  1. Open an approved document.
  2. Select Set Quiz Questions.
  3. Add questions manually or use the AI quiz generator where AI is enabled.
  4. For manual questions, provide the question, answer options and correct response.
  5. Publish the quiz or retain it according to the available workflow.
Mandatory quiz setting: when the organisation requires quizzes for the document type, PurpleWASP prevents publication until the quiz requirement is satisfied.

2. Select the audience

The publication workflow lets the owner choose an organisation-wide or targeted audience according to the document type.
1

Select Publish

Open the approved document and select the publication action.

2

Choose the audience

Select from the audience options available for the document. PurpleWASP can use governed group, role or user targeting according to the configured workflow and document type.

3. Publish now or schedule

Choose the current date for immediate publication or a future date for scheduled publication.
3

Choose the publication date

Select today for immediate publication or a future date to place the document in the Scheduled tab.

4

Confirm publication

Review the audience and date, then publish. Confirm that the document appears under Published or Scheduled.

Reader experience

Recipients see the document in their published content. Where a quiz is attached, they can complete it according to organisation rules. AI-enabled environments may also provide a document summary to help users understand the content.

Common problems

Publication is blocked by a quiz warning

The document type may require a quiz. Create and publish the quiz or ask an administrator to review the document-type quiz configuration.

The audience option I expected is unavailable

Audience choices are controlled by the document type and the configured targeting/assignment rules. Confirm that the intended audience is supported for this document.
