When new web content is approved, the automated email message Web Content Published will be sent to those who have subscribed.
   • Category List: Select the category to which this list belongs. The category will be used for display on your web-page (For example, you could create a category for restaurants for Hot Deals; or a category called full-time for Job Postings), reporting and filtering. A new category may be created dynamically by clicking the + button.
   • Options: These options allow you to define whether members, public or both may view/add to this list.
     • Allow Public to Subscribe: Select this option if you wish to allow the general public to subscribe to this list. When selected, the public will be able to subscribe, and will become member of the public subscription lists (Public Subscriptions for Hot Deals, Public Subscriptions for Job Postings, Public Subscriptions for Blog Posts) dependent on the type of content list you are creating. When you display the content list on your public web-site the link Subscribe to receive Hot Deals notifications! will be included on the page.

The icons you choose must be for supported FREE icons Version 5. Did you know...if you have enabled Show Public Web Content in your directory listing(s), this icon will be displayed on the member's directory listing. See Understanding Directory Display Settings for further information.
     • Allow Info Hub Users to Submit: Select this option if you wish to allow your members to submit content for this list. If selected, a button will be displayed on Info Hub to allow them to do so. Dependent on the access level granted to the member, the content may be automatically approved or require approval from the back office.
     • Custom Fields: Default custom field will be displayed. These will vary dependent on the web content type you are working with. You can remove these fields and add additional custom fields as needed.
