What can Publisher be used for and for who is Publisher intended for?
Describing processes is not an end in itself. As an organisation, the goal is to gain control of operations and preferably ‘produce’, or work, in a predictable manner. Process descriptions should therefore be as accessible as possible and easy to navigate for the organisation's employees in a digital process handbook. Within the Engage Process Platform, the Viewer platform provides this function, but to actually publish processes and make the digital process manual as user-friendly as possible, the Publisher was developed. In short, Publisher is the tool to set up the digital process manual.
What can Publisher be used for?
In the Publisher, you mainly do the following:
- Publish processes so that they can be viewed in the Viewer.
- Determining who can see which processes and whether responses can be left and by whom.
- Creating a folder structure in which the processes are organised logically, making it easier to find processes in the Viewer.
- Creating overviews that facilitate navigating to a process or group of processes.
Who is Publisher intended for?
To use Publisher, a user must have the role ‘Publisher administrator’. This is assigned in the Admin Centre by the Engage Process administrator.
In practice, we often see the following people using the Publisher:
- The Engage Process administrator(s);
- Some Modeler users designated as key users. They, possibly together with colleagues, design the processes of a team/department/organisational unit and are responsible for publishing their own processes.
