Course Description

Overview

This course has been designed for business administrators, who are responsible for configuring an Exstream implementation from a business perspective and for design administrators who are responsible for setting up and maintaining the overall design standards within an organization. It includes information for configuring design databases, integration with OpenText Directory Services (OTDS), setting up keys and licenses, managing users, and configuring system settings such as fonts, colors, languages, and design workflows.

As a business administrator, your role is to set up and maintain the design environment for your organization. Configuring databases, system settings, design groups, and design users allows you to control security, segment roles, and responsibilities, and promote collaboration. The business administrator has complete access to the different Exstream applications and is responsible for their maintenance. Others, such as heads of departments, might share those responsibilities and be given super user access.
