The Editorial → Production screen shows the production jobs of accepted works as a board. If your role was granted for one journal, you see only the jobs of that journal.

Columns

Jobs are listed in four columns by status. Each column shows its number of jobs at the top, and the numbers follow the filters you choose. The Released column shows the jobs released last. The button at the bottom of the column brings the earlier ones too.

Column Jobs
Open Jobs where work has not started yet
In progress Jobs where work has started
Ready to release Jobs with all required tasks done
Released Jobs released to the catalogue

The statuses are described in Job Statuses.

Cards

Each card shows the submission number and the type, title and journal of the work. The progress bar of the card counts the completed tasks. Below it you see the number of open required tasks, or Required tasks done. The bottom line of the card gives the production lead and the planned release date. An overdue job carries the Overdue badge.

Filters

  • The Search box searches submission numbers and titles.
  • Assigned to me shows the jobs where you are the production lead or have an open task assigned to you.
  • Overdue shows the jobs that have a task past its due date, or that are not released by their planned release date.
  • Show cancelled jobs lists cancelled jobs in a separate section at the bottom of the board. The ones cancelled last come first.

Opening a job

Jobs open automatically with the editor's acceptance decision. If an accepted submission has no job, use the Open job button. The button appears to people with the permission to manage production. The steps are in Planning a Job.
