SWING DocPublisher - Overview

 

This slideshow provides answers to basic questions about DocPublisher. What is it? Who should use it? How does it work? Also, learn more about the product features and what customers say about the product.

Navigating and Reading
How to Use e-Manuals or Document Libraries in DocPublisher

 

This slideshow describes DocPublisher from the perspective of the Read-only user. It shows how users can navigate through documentation, perform searches, subscribe to RSS feeds and send feedback to document owners.

 

Authoring and Publishing
How to Create a Document
 

A DocPublisher document consists of document content, document properties, access permissions and document history. See how to:

1) Create content with MS Word or built-in HTML editor

2) Set document properties such as Version, Document owner, Expiry date and others

3) Specify access permissions (read and write permissions)

How to Submit a Document for Review and Approval

 

Once a DocPublisher document has been created it can be published immediately or submitted for review/approval (depending on your specific requirements).

This slideshow demonstrates how to submit a document for review/approval and how to view documents according to the different stages on their way to publishing.

How to Approve or Reject a Document


When a document has been submitted for review/approval it can be approved and prepared for publishing or rejected and sent back to document owner for further editing. This slideshow describes these actions.

 

How to Publish or Withdraw a Document


Approved documents can be published immediately or on a pre-set date in future. Once published, documents are available to Read-only users. This slideshow also shows how to withdraw a document that has been published.

How to Create a New Revision

 

While a document is in a published stage, you can create a new copy of the document and make a new revision out of it. The new revision can go through the approval process again if needed and once it is published, the previous version is automatically withdrawn and archived.
 

How to Rollback to a Previous Version

 

If need be, you can always roll back to any previous version of a document. Once a previous version of a document is published, the current version will be withdrawn and archived, much like in case of a new revision.

How to manage Draft Stages


Before being published, a DocPUblisher document typically goes through Draft, Pending Approval and Approved document stages. Different users work on each stage either as editors, reviewers or approvers. See how to create additional draft stages in order to comply with any specific work-flows within an organization.

How to Create Custom Document Properties and Views
