Data Collection, Analysis, & PublicationThe Challenge
Data collection exercises can be large and complex Require quick turnaround; input from multiple organizations & users Workflow with multiple levels of review (stages and roles) Diverse Information requirements:
– Text (bullets, rich-text, comments), numbers (data fields, tables), attachments
– Analytical capabilities: Charts, graphs, reports, dashboards, export– Camera-ready publishing (incl. paginated Table of Contents and index)
Integrate information already collected
Data Collection, Analysis, & PublicationThe Answer
16
Each Data Collection Can Include Any Combination of Flexible Section Options
Bullets Two Types of Paragraphs:
– Unformatted - exercise manager retains full publication control– Rich Text – user controls presentation in publication
Tables– Fixed Format - exercise manager retains full control of columns– Flexible Format – user can modify column headings and add additional
columns – Tables can also be included as Attachments or in Rich Text paragraphs
Attachments - for existing information and complex displays Comments
– Non-printable and printable– General, or section specific– Custom viewing permissions (personal marginalia)
Contacts
17
Flexible Workflow With Access Controls
Workflow reflects each step (“stage”) of the exercise. Access permissions can be customized for each workflow stage:
– Authoring– Initial Review– Collaboration– Final Review– Publish
Access Permissions can also be set for each topic level:– Exercise– Category– Subcategory– Individual Topic/Question
Permissions can be grouped into “Roles” using any combination of MAX “Groups” and individual users.
Workflow can be managed at any topic level by Stages and Roles.
