Content Post - Posts Management

Content Post - Posts Management

Posts can be created in each of the Post Types. Depending on the configuration, both Marketplace Owners and Vendors have the ability to add to these Post Types.
NOTE: There has been a menu restructure in Omnyfy Release v4.0.6, and some menu items from this guide may have moved. Please see the menu update in the release notes if you are on this release or later: View the Release Notes for Omnyfy v4.0.6

You can access the posts by going to Marketplace Management > Post Types (different from the Content Post menu).



Vendors can see only Post Types available for Vendor Assignment (see Post Types configuration: Content Post - Post Type).

Simply select the Post Type you would like to add in, and you will be able to see a table of available posts. Note that depending on the Post Type Attribute Set on the Post Type (see Content Post - Post Type Attribute Sets), and the configuration, certain tabs and fields will be accessible to edit.
