Integration with IXIASOFT CCMS Web
IXIASOFT CCMS Web has a streamlined user interface that is easier for SMEs and reviewers to use than IXIASOFT CCMS Desktop, and it provides writers with all the core tools they need to author content. The documentation development process spans both CCMS Web and CCMS Desktop.
Assignments
CCMS Web uses assignments to control the access that contributors and reviewers have to content. Some assignments in CCMS Web are only active for a user when in the correct status. For example, contributors may only be able to work on assignments that are in a "contribute" status, and writers can only work on assignments in a "working" status.
Users usually have similar roles in CCMS Desktop and CCMS Web, allowing them to perform all the same tasks.
SMEs and other users
An administrator must add any new users in IXIASOFT CCMS Desktop (such as SMEs, reviewers, and contributors) and assign them a role before they can use CCMS Web. The role that they are assigned depends on what they will be doing in CCMS Web:
| Role | Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| Approver | Approve content using Approvals |
| Contributors |
|
| Reviewers |
|
| Reviewers with light editing privelages |
