Note: System Admins can change the name of this view (via Admin Settings > Views and Functions > Manage Views and Options) so it may appear as "Listings", "Classifieds", or something entirely different in your platform's Main Navigation.
In Listings, only Listings Creators and Listing Managers have permission to create and post Listings. Often it make sense to make everyone a Listings Creator.
Listing Managers control Listing Creator permissions and set the Listing Categories via the Action Menu (three dots) in the upper right corner of Listings.

Creating a Listing
Listing Managers and Listing Creators can create a new Listing by:
1. In Listings, go to the Action Bar and click the + (Create New Item) button to open a New Item form (The word Item might be customized to something else)
2. On the left side of the form, enter the following information:
- Title
- Description
- Header images
3. And on the right side of the form, under Options, you can set your Listing's:
- Category (Listing Managers can create up to 15 customized Categories)
- Visibility*
- Expiration date (listing will expire at midnight on the date you select)
- Commenting (on or off)
*If you don’t want your Listing visible to everyone on your platform, then click the blue Edit button under Visible to Everyone. Here you can opt to create a Custom List of viewers by adding individuals or groups such as Locations, Teams, Employee Types or Org Units.
4. When you have finished filling in the form, scroll back up to the Action Bar and select Publish to post your Listing. If you wish, you can check it first by clicking Preview. Or if you want to pause your work and come back later, click Save Draft.
