What are read counts?

Each individual node access by a registered user or guest is counted, and those counts are displayed under each post when that node is displayed. The count is displayed as an entry which reads <count> reads, and is next to the 'read more' link. This information may be leveraged in the future to provide a block which displays the most frequently read content on the site.

How are tasks assigned and managed?

Tasks can be created in a hierarchical manner, and can be assigned to other individuals as well as to yourself. However, in general, only administrators or project managers are authorized to change tasks assigned to another person. The list of tasks can be reviewed through the menu link provided in the menu block, and allows tasks to be filtered according to whether they are associated with a project, what state they are in, and whether they are complete or not.

Control over access to 'premium content'

Each individual node can be identiifed as 'premium' when submitted for publication. Nodes that are designated in this manner are only accessible to registered users who are authorized (via their roles) to review that material in it's entirety. People who are not authorized are able to review a 'teaser' of the content (which is automatically extracted from the body of the full material), but will be given a message when attempting to access the node that describes what they need to do in order to get the addtional access required.

Material can also be 'promoted' to premium content automatically after full access has been granted for a designated period after publication, if this feature is enabled by the site administrator.
