I’m having trouble publishing my Digital SitRep.

  • Do you receive a “Validation failed” error message?

...

Duplication and creating new Situation Reports from scratch is not recommended. Content should be edited and updated from the existing SitRep. Offices should not have more than one SitRep unless they are providing SitReps in multiple languages.

  • Do you receive a log in request?

...

Check your SitRep for missing or unpublished information such as Key Figures. The missing items may not be marked with an error message so please check carefully. Contact the DSR team for further assistance.

How do I change the layout of my Digital SitRep?

All Digital SitReps follow a similar layout design. Sidebars and other elements which disrupt the current layout cannot be added at this time. DSR owners should provide the minimum (Highlights, Key Image, Key Figures, Funding, and Contact).

If you have ideas or requests for features, please contact the DSR team.

Our office has SitReps in multiple languages. Is there a way to filter by language?

Yes! Contentful provides multiple filtering options.

  1. Confirm that you are in the Digital Situation Report space.

  2. Click “Situation Reports by Language” in the left sidebar.


    The content area will filter to display only Situation Reports. A new “Language” Languagecolumn is added to the content area.
