Publishing - why can't I publish my activity?

If you find that you cannot publish your activity, there may be a number of reasons why:

1. You are attempting to publish from a suspended Department
2. All necessary information has not been entered
3. Publishing permissions may be restricted on your Citizen Space

1) You are attempting to publish from a suspended Department

If a department has been suspended in Citizen Space, a user within that department will be unable to publish.

There are a few ways to correct this:

• The Site Admin or Department Admin could reinstate the department
• The owner could be moved to a different, open department before adding and publishing the activity

2) All necessary information has not been entered

It is necessary to add details for all required fields before you may publish your activity. If you have not entered all of the required information, you will see a message once you have clicked the Save button in the 'Edit Activity Details' section stating the fields that need to be completed or corrected in order to publish.

You can then enter the missing information and click Save again in order to publish.

3) Publishing permissions may be restricted on your Citizen Space

We may have been asked by your organisation to limit the ability to publish activities to site admins or site and department admins only. We will be able to check whether this is the case and can let you know. If so, your site admin will need to publish your activity for you.
