Tutorial 7 | The Publish Menu<\/h1>\n

Heurist is not merely a databasing or data management tool. It is also a fully-featured data publishing tool. Using the Publish menu, you can build a website to provide public access to your database, or export your data in several useful formats (e.g. as a spreadsheet, as an xml document, or as a robust archive package for your institutional repository or personal backup).<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_toggle title=”Create Your Free Heurist Database” open_toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)” closed_toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)” icon_color=”#FFFFFF” open_icon_color=”#FFFFFF” admin_label=”Create DB Toggle” _builder_version=”4.13.0″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” border_radii=”on|2px|2px|2px|2px” border_width_all=”3px” border_color_all=”#FFFFFF” global_module=”25818″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”]\nUse our server in Australia →<\/a>\nUse our server in France →<\/a>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f4f2f4″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjI2MDYyIn19@” button_text=”Tutorial 6 | The Populate Menu” button_alignment=”left” admin_label=”Tutorial 6″ _builder_version=”4.13.0″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_icon=”#||divi||400″ button_icon_placement=”left” button_on_hover=”off” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjI2MDU5In19@” button_text=”Tutorial 8 | The Admin Menu” button_alignment=”right” disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Tutorial 8″ _builder_version=”4.13.0″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_icon=”$||divi||400″ button_on_hover=”off” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”5px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||15px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Creating A New Website<\/h2>\n

In the Publish menu, click ‘Create’ to create a new website. You can create as many websites as you like from your database. Many Heurist users do so, such as the researchers on the Expert Nation<\/a> nation project, who ran several smaller projects on the wartime service of Australian university students on a single central database.<\/p>\n

When you Create a new site, you will be asked whether to make it public or private. Many users prefer to have a private website until they are ready to show it to the world.<\/p>\n

If you ever wish to View one of your websites in the way the public will see it, you can click ‘View’ in the top left of the Publish menu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you have created your website, it will appear onscreen as a ‘treeview’ and a ‘preview’.<\/p>\n

In the ‘treeview’ to the left, you can view information about the structure of the current page. In the ‘preview’ to the right, you can see a live version of the page. If you hover over an element of the page in either the ‘treeview’ or the ‘preview’, it will light up in both places.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Add a New Page to Your Site<\/h2>\n

To add a new page to your site, click the ‘Menu’ tab in the ‘treeview’ to the left. This will bring up the ‘treeview’ for your entire website. You will see a list of all the pages in the website, some of which are nested under others. This list of pages is used to generate the menu buttons at the top of your webpage.<\/p>\n

When you create a new Heurist website, we create a number of template webpages for you, such as ‘Project Background’, ‘Discover’ and ‘Content’. You may wish to use these pages as a framework, but you are free to rename, reorganise or remove them from the site as you wish.<\/p>\n

You can also add entirely new pages to the site. In the example from the tutorial, I create a new page nested under the ‘Overview’ page. To do this, hover over ‘Overview’ in the treeview of the website, and click the ‘+’ icon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the popup, you can choose a name for your site. We also provide some additional templates for more complex page layouts (e.g. for a blog page or a discover page). In the tutorial, I create a ‘Simple (blank) page’:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Edit Your New Page<\/h2>\n

When you create your new page, you will be taken to it straight away. To start editing it, simply click on the part of the page you wish to edit in the ‘preview’, and start typing as you would a Word or Google document. You will be prompted to save your work if you make any changes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Change Website Settings<\/h2>\n

If you wish to edit settings for the website as a whole, you can do so under the ‘Menu’ tab in the ‘treeview’. The website settings give you great control over the look and feel of your entire website. In the tutorial, I demonstrate the two most basic settings: giving your website a title and a logo. But as you become more skilled in Heurist’s website builder, you can make even further adjustments, such as:<\/p>\n
