De-index a page from Google#

(NEW, as of 01/09/20)

NoIndex field must be set in the Digital EditUI at http://edit.theday.com/apps/pbcsedit.dll/red; it's located in story's "Edit" tab at the end of the 'Extra Fields' section

Change to TRUE in the dropdown to activate the no-index tag (see Fig. 1, below). Republish; then go to Google search Console to recrawl and remove link. (see Joe Ruggeri about this)

FIG. 1 – The control in the Digital editUI that will mark a story for de-indexing on Google.

SETUP: Logic for this appears in article1000.pbo macro; simply checks to see if the value of <%Field_Unindex%> is equal to 'TRUE'; if so, it adds the no-index tag, like so:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />

To format the field as a drop-down in the edit UI, see the file templates/objects/Edit-Extrafields/UnIndex.pbo (and the documentation, here: https://docs.newscycle.com/display/Onl/Extra+Fields+in+NCS+Digital#ExtraFieldsinNCSDigital-EXTRAFIELDDEFSection)
