Content Author– The Content Author will create content in Vignette using the tools provided. Once complete, the author will submit the content to the Content Editor (a.k.a. 1st Approver) thereby beginning the workflow and approval process. The Content Author will be required to select the correct content category.
Content Editor (1st Approver) – The Content Editor is the first approver of the content and will look over the content for style and grammar errors or look errors. The Content Editor can make changes to the content, but should return the content to the Author for major changes. Finally, the Content Editor has to option to reject or approve content. Rejected content must be submitted with notes/comments regarding why the content was rejected.
Content Reviewer – The Content Reviewer is someone that will be notified that new content has been created as an FYI. This person will have no access to make changes to the content but will be able to view it. This role primarily serves a primarily political purpose and is the only “read-only” role within the workflow. If a Content Reviewer desires that a change be made, it is their responsibility to notify the final approver.
Content Approver – There may be various Approvers in the process, and these approvers may change based on the type of content. The Approver looks over the content and must either reject or approve the content. The Content Approver must also review images on the page in order to make sure that they conform to the policies and procedures regarding images on the UTSW website. Again, rejected content will be returned to the author with comments and approved content will move forward to the next Approver in the sequence.
Final Approver (Web Site Content Manager) – The Final Approver makes the final look over of the content (including images) and presses the button that publishes the content to the site.
