• Specialist

• Enabler

• Manager

• Consumer

• External service provider

• Solution administrator

Domain management

The new governance model is aligned with the dedicated work areas. As a user, you work in your default domain that corresponds to your work area. In your default domain, you create, edit and store assets. You can view assets in other domains, and move assets to other domains. The common and share domains are accessible to all users. They contain and store assets that are used in your whole organization.

The following default domains represent the dedicated work areas:

The following domains contain commonly used and shared assets:

* Online channels are not part of the censhare Dedicated solutions and must be installed and configured separately.

As a user, you work in your default domain. You can assign an asset stored in your default domain to other users in their default domains. For this, the asset must be moved to the appropriate domain.

Move assets to another domain

You can move asset between domains when you edit them on an asset page:

1. Open an asset.

   Click the three dots to open the Page actions menu, and select Domain management.

2. Select the domain, to which you want to move the asset.

The asset is moved to the new domain without confirmation or further notice.

Workflow management

censhare provides workflows for the different work areas and domains. The workflow steps are mapped to the common workflow states as shown in the following table:

Use these workflows for product assets, media assets or content assets, as well as for campaigns and projects. You can change the workflow step of an asset in the Kanban boards of the respective pages, or with the Assign to action.

The Kanban boards can be found in the Status tab of these pages.

Assign a workflow and workflow step

2. From the Edit workflow dialog, select a Workflow and Workflow Step (required).

3. Assign to a user (optional).

4. If you wish, set a manual deadline, and enable the Child asset completion toggle.
