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
