Saga plugin panel

The Nuvelics panel is a narrow view of your pitches, stories and enrichment that sits beside the rundown or story editor in your newsroom system, so you can review and read without leaving it. It is meant for a side panel about the width of a phone. Setting up the connection to your newsroom system, and the background to how the panel is embedded, is in Saga newsroom system.

Who reaches it and howCopy Anchor Link

Everyone in your organization can open the panel, whatever their role, from the newsroom system that embeds it. What you can do in it follows your role in the web app: a button you may not use is missing. An owner or admin gets the panel's address from the HTML Plugin field on the NRCS tab, described in NRCS, and enters it in the newsroom system's own plugin settings.

Sign in to the panelCopy Anchor Link

The panel does not share your web app session, because it runs inside another program's page. It asks you to sign in by confirming a short code.

1. When the panel shows "Sign in to review pitches and stories without leaving your rundown.", choose Sign in.
2. Choose Open the sign-in page. It opens in a new tab, on the screen described in Activate a device sign-in. Sign in if asked, check the organization, and choose Authorize.
3. Come back to the panel. It says Waiting for you to confirm… and signs itself in within a few seconds. A countdown, Expires in, shows how long the code is good for.

If Open the sign-in page does nothing, because the newsroom system blocks new tabs, choose Nothing opened? and follow the steps shown: go to the address given on your phone or another browser, and enter the code, using Copy address and Copy code if you need them.

The panel remembers its sign-in in that browser, so reloading it does not ask again. If its access ends, it returns to the sign-in prompt. Signing in is separate for each organization and browser.

If it fails:

• That code ran out of time. Codes last five minutes.: choose Get a new code.
• That sign-in could not be completed. Try again.: the code was rejected or already used, or you authorized it for a different organization from the one this panel belongs to. Choose Sign in again and, on the confirmation screen, pick the right organization.

Find your way aroundCopy Anchor Link

The panel has no sidebar. Along the top, the Nuvelics mark sits beside a newsdesk filter, and below it are three tabs: Pitches, Stories and Enrichments. The panel opens on Pitches.

The newsdesk filter, Filter by newsdesk, offers All newsdesks and each of your newsdesks. It narrows Pitches and Stories to one desk; Enrichments shows stories from every desk. Rows in a long list load more as you reach the bottom, or with Load more. From a pitch or a story, the Previous and Next arrows step through the list in the order you saw it.

PitchesCopy Anchor Link

The Pitches tab lists pitches in the order Nuvelics ranks them. A row shows the title, the newsdesk (when the filter is on All newsdesks), the score, the event date and how many sources contributed. A Manual badge marks a pitch a person created. A pitch that is no longer waiting for review shows its status: Draft, Approved or Dismissed. With nothing to review the tab says Nothing to review.

Choose a row to open the pitch. It shows its status, Score, newsdesk and date, then Summary, Why it matters, Media, and Contributing sources with each source's Articles, Media and Latest added. The web app's fuller view, with the contributing articles, is behind View in Nuvelics, which opens in a new tab and needs you to be signed in to the web app.

Approve or dismiss a pitchCopy Anchor Link

You need permission to review pitches, the same as in the web app (see Pitches). A pitch that is new and waiting for review then shows two buttons.

1. Choose Approve and read Approve this pitch?. It says approving makes a story from the pitch and its sources, starts enrichment, and cannot be undone. Choose Yes, approve.
2. You see Pitch approved and the panel opens the new story, still inside the panel.

Choose Dismiss and Yes, dismiss to mark the pitch reviewed and rejected instead, which also cannot be undone. You see Pitch dismissed.

A Draft pitch instead offers Dismiss, Create pitch, which sends it to the review queue, and Create pitch and approve.

An approved pitch shows View story in place of the buttons. If someone else decided first you see "This pitch has already been reviewed." If spending is paused, approving says "Spending is paused: the organization reached its spending cap." and nothing is approved. If it fails otherwise you see "Couldn't approve pitch."

StoriesCopy Anchor Link

The Stories tab lists your stories, from approved pitches and from your newsroom system. A row shows the title, the newsdesk, an enrichment badge (Pending, Running, Enriched or Failed), when it was created and how many sources fed it. An empty tab says Nothing here yet. If the list will not load you see "Couldn't load stories."

Choose a story to open it. The panel shows the same enrichment as the web app, in a read-only view: the summary, the key claims and their status, quotes, timeline, entities and media. Re-enriching and working on outputs stay in the web app; View in Nuvelics opens the story there in a new tab. See Stories for what each part means and Enrichment for how it is made.

Add a story to your rundownCopy Anchor Link

A story that began as a pitch has an Add story button, which files it into your newsroom system as a new story.

1. Wait for the story's enrichment to finish. Until then the button is unavailable and says "You can add this story once its enrichment finishes."
2. Choose Add to followed by your newsroom system's name. If the panel cannot tell which of your connections it sits in, it reads Add story… and asks you to choose one first.
3. Read "Adds this story to" the connection "as a new story. This cannot be undone." and choose Add.

The button then reads Added to followed by the name, and cannot be pressed again for that connection. Cancel closes the confirmation without sending anything.

The button is missing if you may not push to the newsroom system or your organization has no connection to it. If it says "Sign in again to add stories.", disconnect the panel from Connected apps in User Settings, or sign out of the web app, which also signs out every other panel. The panel then returns to its Sign in button: follow the sign-in steps above. A story written in the newsroom system itself has no Add story button, since it already came from there.

If the push fails part-way you are warned that part of the story may already be in the rundown: check it before using Retry, because a retry creates a second story. "This story can't be added … It may already be there." means it was already filed, and "… no longer exists, so nothing was added." means the story or the connection was removed.

EnrichmentsCopy Anchor Link

The Enrichments tab shows what Nuvelics found for one story written in your newsroom system. A Story picker at the top searches those stories, newest first. The story most recently updated in the last 24 hours is chosen for you. If none was, the tab says "No story in the last 24 hours. Search for an older one above." With no stories at all the picker reads No recent stories.

Below the picker:

• House checks, when your organization has any that apply, lists each check by name with its result: Passed, a number of findings or suggestions, or its state: Current, Pending, Stale, Failed or Not yet run. It also shows when the check was Evaluated and its version. Choose one to see its findings, each marked Flag or Inform, or as a Suggestion. These are your newsroom's own rules, set under Story checks; a result from an earlier version of the story says so.
• Enrichment lists a card for each part: Meaning, Additional sources, Fact check, Key entities, Timeline, Key quotes and Archive. Choose a card to read it, and Back to story to return to your story. While enrichment runs, a line says Starting enrichment, Enriching the draft saved at a time, or Waiting for the newsroom to finish editing, and cards appear as each step completes without reloading. If the text has changed since, the panel says the cards "are from an earlier draft" or that "The newer draft could not be enriched."

The tab is read-only: there is nothing to approve or dismiss, only findings to read. For what enrichment is, see Enrichment, and for how checks work, Templates and checks.
