Policy Creation
Policies are created in the Control Center module. Using a simple and intuitive interface, policy administrators are able to:
- Create new policies or import existing policies e.g. from Word, PDF, with automatic version control
- Draft and edit clauses, create questions for testing user understanding
- Establish libraries of policies and clauses to be published
- Assign different policies to different user groups; this can be done manually or by integrating with existing Directory Services e.g. Active Directory, e-Directory
- Set attributes for each policy - importance, type e.g. whether mandatory or non-mandatory, whether feedback is allowed, timescales for acceptance
PolicyMatter utilises an atomic clause approach to creating and communicating policies. What this means is we break a policy down to logical entities - clauses. This approach benefits customers on several fronts:
- Different clauses within a policy can be presented to different users
- When changes occur the policy owner can choose to highlight the new or amended clauses rather than forcing the user to read the whole policy in its entirety
- If a clause with a question is repeatedly answered incorrectly there may be issues with how well it has been worded. Using the atomic clause structure policy owners can isolate the troublesome clause for re-presentation, rather than all the clauses and policies
