Typical scenarios
Several types of assignments are available in IXIA CCMS Web. The type of feedback that you want to receive determines the type of assignment you create.
The My Assignments page is the default page that opens when a user logs in to CCMS Web. The list of assignments displayed on that page depends on the type of assignment, the status of the objects included in the assignment, and the role given to the user.
The assignments you can assign a user depends on their role in CCMS Web:
| Role | Description | Assignments | Status of assignments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Content contributors | A content contributor can be a subject matter expert who
is expected to write the first draft of the content or fill in details.
Technical writers can refine the content written by the subject matter experts. |
