Campaigns
A campaign, also known as a world or a universe, is the way data is stored in Kanka. Everything belongs to a campaign.
Creating a campaign
To create a campaign, open the campaign switcher and click on new campaign.
Campaign settings
The following aims to detail each field available when creating or editing a campaign. To access this interface, click on Settings and Edit.
Entry
The first tab is the entry tab, containing the most basic fields.
Name
A campaign needs a world, containing at least 4 characters. Campaign names aren’t unique (we wouldn’t want a single Tal’Dorei now would we?). A campaign’s name can be changed at any time.
Description
A short (or long, we don’t judge!) description of your campaign. A preview of this displays on the campaign’s dashboard, and the full text is available when clicking on Settings in the sidebar.
Friendly tip
This field can contain mentions to entries of the campaign!
Sidebar image
Select an image from your device or from a url to upload as the campaign’s image. This image is visible in the campaign switcher and on the top of the sidebar.
Interface
This tab controls some basic look and feel of the campaign.
Campaign theme
Rather than displaying the campaign in the user viewing it’s preferred theme, you can force the campaign to appear in a specific theme.
Campaign’s member list
Control who can see the campaign’s member list. This list is available in Settings > Members.
Entry history logs
Control who can see individual entry’s change logs.
Tooltip - Entry’s image
By default, tooltips that appear when hovering an entry link don’t display that entry’s image. This can be changed with this option.
Default entry’s connections interface
When clicking on an entry’s connections subpage, select what displays. On premium campaigns, the default is to show the relation explorer.
Default relations explorer mode
When opening an entry’s relation explorer, control which mode is opened by default.
Default lists layout
Select if nested entries display in a user’s preferred layout, or if you want to force nested lists.
New article default collapsed value
Control if newly created articles are collapsed by default.
Permissions
This tab allows you to set the default privacy and visibility settings of new elements created in the campaign.
Default new entry privacy
When creating a new entry as an admin, select the default privacy setting of the new entry.
Default character personality visibility
When creating a new character as an admin, select the default privacy setting for its personality traits.
Show private entry names when they’re mentioned.
When mentioning a private entry on another’s description or articles the mention will be rendered as the entitie’s name for users who can’t normally see it, if disabled, the entry’s name will instead show as Unknown.
Dashboards
The last tab controls info displayed on the dashboard’s campaign header widget.
