In Eitje, you can add articles to share information with your team members. You can either write the article yourself, or upload an existing PDF document.
Articles can be added to a 'theme'. If you do not add them to a theme, they will be listed in the 'Other articles' section in the handbook.
'Theme': A theme is a collection of articles and quiz questions. The articles are only visible to the teams that have access to the theme. Read more about how to create a theme.
'Other articles': This is a collection of all articles that are not linked to any themes. These articles are visible to all team members of the venue.
⚠️ Note: You can only create and write articles in the web version of Eitje, not in the app. However, it is possible to view articles and themes in the app.
Create an article
In the main menu on top, navigate to 'Knowledge' > Handbook.
You can create a new article in three places:
Click on '+ Create' in blue, in the top right corner, then choose 'Create article'.
Under the 'Other articles' section, click on 'Create Article'.
Create an article within a theme. For this, you first need to create a theme.
Add a title, and choose whether you want to use the text editor to write the article yourself, or add an article as a PDF document. Read more about using PDF documents here.
If desired, select the theme you want to add the article to. You can also add it to multiple themes. This field is not required, you can skip it.
⚠️ Note: If you do not select a theme, the article will automatically be added to the 'Other articles' section.
Click 'Save'
Write an article using the text editor
If you choose to write an article yourself, the text editor will open, which is similar to Microsoft Word, and is fairly easy to use. The text editor offers many features, such as formatting options. Click anywhere in the empty field to start writing.
By clicking 'More', you can add various elements to the article, such as bullet points, images, a YouTube video, columns, and more.
By clicking on the handle in front of the text or any element, you will see options to duplicate, add new, or delete the element. An element could for example be text, a table, or an image.
As long as the article is not yet published, it can only be seen by team members who have an 'Admin' role or a 'Manager' role. To publish the article, click the blue button 'Publish' on top. Untill then, the article is saved as a draft.
⚠️ Note: In case the theme is published, but the article is not, team members will not be able to see the article even when the rest of the theme is visible.
Before or after publishing, through 'Options', you can update the title, unpublish, delete the article, and see which team member have viewed the article (only with the role 'Admin' or 'Manager').
While you are editing the article, changes are always saved automatically. The green tick informs you the latest changes have been saved.
Add the article to a theme
If you haven't added the article to a theme yet, you can do this either through the article itself, or add it from the theme.
Add article to a theme via the article:
Above the article you find an orange button 'Link theme'. Here you can choose to which theme(s) you wish to add the article.
In case the article has already been linked to a theme, the button is grey, and can be used to manage the linked themes.
Add an article to a theme from the theme:
Click to open the theme to which you want to add an article.
Click 'Select article' (bottom).
Select the article you wish to add. This will be automatically saved.
