Additional Information

Timelines Content Sort Order

  • Content is sorted by default by the creation date, i.e. the oldest will be at the top of the list of content and the newest will be at the bottom.
  • When content has been manually arranged within a moment, that order will be applied in place of the creation date.

Timelines Moment Sort Order

  • Moments are sorted by default by the creation date, i.e. the oldest will be at the top of the list and the newest will be at the bottom.

Flighting Time

  • Content start date is the same as the moment start date it is within.
  • Changing a moment start date will not adjust the moment or content end date.
  • Moment flighting end date is independent of a story's duration, i.e. it can be scheduled past the story end date.
  • Content flighting end date is independent of a moment's duration, i.e. it can be scheduled past the moment end date.
