The municipal bulletin, done right every single issue
Fixed grid templates, live completion checks, a drag-and-drop running order and a manager-gated bon-a-tirer workflow replace ad hoc desktop publishing and email approval chains — so every edition of your commune's newsletter ships consistent, complete and on schedule.
The problem
Communications officers and town-hall secretaries — not trained designers — must produce a consistent, professional bulletin on a fixed schedule. Today's options are general desktop-publishing tools with no structure and no approval trail, so layout drift, half-filled pages and a chaotic back-and-forth proof cycle are the norm.
The solution
Cerevantix Municipal Newsletter Publishing enforces a fixed grid template for every page, validates mandatory content live as the editor types, and routes every edition through a single auditable draft-to-published approval circuit before it goes to print.
Everything a bulletin editor needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Fixed Grid Templates With Visual Preview
Choose from six ready-made layouts — mayor's message, multi-column articles, briefs, full-page photo, agenda and civil registry — each shown as a thumbnail before you commit a page to it, so every edition keeps a consistent house style without manual layout work.
Drag-and-Drop Running Order (Chemin de Fer)
Sequence every page of an edition on a visual board and watch page numbers renumber automatically as you drag, with a side-by-side Before and Now comparison that confirms the reorder landed exactly where you intended.
Live Completion Validation While You Edit
Mandatory blocks that are still empty are flagged red the moment you look at a page, and a warning banner on the edition itself counts exactly how many blocks remain — problems surface while you're editing, not only when a reviewer rejects the proof.
Block Occupancy Indicators
Repeated slots such as briefs or body columns show a live count like "2 of 3 briefs filled," so editors always know how much of a multi-slot block is still left to complete.
Per-Page and Per-Edition Completion Meters
Every page carries a completion percentage, and the edition rolls those up into a single readiness score, giving editors and reviewers an at-a-glance signal of how close the whole issue is to being print-ready.
Draft-to-Published Approval Circuit
A controlled draft, review, approval and published workflow replaces the email-and-verbal bon-a-tirer cycle, with a single rollback to draft available at any stage and a manager-only approval gate for the final sign-off.
Approval Errors Name the Exact Failing Block
Requesting approval or final sign-off on an incomplete edition is blocked with a message that names the precise page and block still missing content, so there is never any hunting for what caused the rejection.
Bulk Template Assignment Across Editions
Apply a grid template to many editions in one action — either appending a new page to each or re-templating every empty page — while pages that already hold content are always left untouched.
Auto-Suggestions From Agenda & Civil Registry Data
Agenda and civil-registry blocks can be filled with one click from upcoming events and recent entries tracked right inside the module, and a guided setup wizard with a compatibility check and sample data gets a new installation running in minutes.
How it works
Design the Grid
Pick a template for each page from the visual gallery — mayor's message, columns, briefs, photo, agenda or civil registry — and the matching content blocks are created automatically.
Fill & Validate
Enter content block by block while live completion indicators and occupancy counts show exactly what is still missing, with one-click suggestions for agenda and civil-registry blocks.
Sequence & Submit
Drag pages into their final running order on the Before/Now board, then move the edition through review and request bon-a-tirer approval — gated until every mandatory block is complete.
Approve & Print
A Newsletter Manager gives the final sign-off, and the edition prints as a page-by-page PDF report that follows the approved running order exactly.
Frequently asked
No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.
Yes. Agenda events and civil-registry entries are modelled inside this module, so you can create and manage that source data directly here — there is no dependency on an external calendar app.
