How do I add new To-Dos to pages?
To-Dos are another tool to help users add content to your site. By adding a To-Dos to pages on your site, needed content and changes become easily discoverable at a site and page level. Also, To-Dos will help empower new users and focus existing contributors by directing them to what content is needed. Check out the video demos or scroll down for detailed instructions.| Creating a To-Do | Completing a To-Do |
Create a New To-Do
To create a new To-Do, simply click on the "Add a new To-Do" link in the Page Toolbox.
The "Add a To-Do" dialog will appear.
Select a To-Do type from the drop down list. The options include:
- Clean up / formatting
- Add content
- Add cross links
- Fact check
- Add images
- Link image
- Custom / other
- Fill out page template
- Populate blank page
- Proof read
- Spell check
- Add videos
Give your To-Do a title, like "The three dog image needs a link".
Add a comment to your To-Do for additional clarity on the request.
You can mark a To-Do as high priority with the "Mark this To-Do as High Priority" check box. High Priority To-Dos will appear at the top of the list of To-Dos.
If you want to be kept up to date on any changes made to a To-Do, you can add it to your Watchlist by checking the Watch this To-Do checkbox.
Send a User a Notification
After adding a To-Do to a page you will have the opportunity to send another user on the site a notification about the To-Do. You might like to use this feature to contact new or power users directly about a To-Do hoping to bring their attention and skills to resolving the To-Do.
Type the recipient's username in the To: field or select To: and add the user name from the Address Book.
You can update the Subject line and add in a specific message in the body of the notification.
