As explained in the Issue chapter, assignments must exist in an issue and section. Thus, before adding assignments for the first time, please ensure that you have created at least one issue and section. See Issue Management and Section Management in the Admin Section for details on adding issues and sections.
To begin the process of adding an assignment, navigate to the Issues menu and click Add an assignment. The Add Assignment page is divided into five sections. This is done to simplify the page, and help you enter relevant content quickly. When first adding an assignment, it is only required to set the Title, Type. However, each of the other fields on this page can be used to help manage and publish your content. See the sections below for information on each of parts of this page.
