The directory is a filing area for all your processes, value streams, managed documents and attachments. It provides an overall picture of where all items are located. The directory is available to all users.

Permission Apply in the Directory:

  • Update, create, delete groups - Administrator

  • Reorder groups - Administrators/ users with Allow Directory Reordering permission

  • Create, delete processes, value streams - Administrators/ User with Add Process permission

  • Create, delete attachments - Administrators/ User with Add Attachments permission

  • Create, delete managed documents - Administrators/ User with Add Managed Documents permission

The filter/search bar and filter toggles can help simplify the search for the item you are looking for. Toggles, filters, collapse/expand preferences on the Directory page will be remembered when you navigate away/ log out.

Expand/collapse groups

  • Double-click on the folder to expand/collapse

  • Click on the arrow next to the folder to expand/collapse

  • Click on the Expand/Collapse All button to expand/collapse all the folders at once

You can also choose whether to hide or display items by toggling the appropriate toggle in the top left of the screen.

Attachments will not be displayed if the Remove Directory Attachments permission has been added to the company you are currently in.

Preview

To preview an item in the directory, simply select it and a preview box will appear next to it. Access restrictions apply. If an item has a draft status, it can only be viewed by stakeholders (owners, experts and authors) and your company administrators. A user cannot view it but can request to be notified once the item has been published.

Create/Update/Delete

You can add new groups, processes, value streams and managed documents in the directory by right clicking on the group you want to add the item to and filling in the details. The item will not open and you will remain in the directory page with the new item added to the group you selected. (Permissions apply so only administrators and users with Add Processes permission can do this)

If you accidentally selected to create a new group, simply press the esc key on your keyboard to close and delete the new group you are in the process of naming.

Reorder

Administrators and users with Allow Directory Reordering permission, can drag and drop items to change the order or group they are in. To do this, click and hold on the item you want to move, drag it to the new location and release your mouse to drop it in that new location.

To open the item once you have found it, single click on the title or right click and select open.

Groups can be deleted if they do not have any items in them. Processes, value streams, managed documents and attachments can also be deleted. Right click on the item and select delete.

When viewing on a mobile device, with a width of less than 900px, you won't be able to move items between folders.
