The Online Studio Home page provides logged-in users with a quick overview of all procedures and resources that are currently being edited. These are associated with the domains that logged-in users are authorized to access.

It also displays a dashboard used to:

• Monitor activity in Self Help projects based on different indicators.
• View procedures based on status.
• Open a procedure or resource directly in the Desktop Studio.

Notes

• The contents displayed on the Home page depend on the profile of the logged-in user.
  • The Recently changed pane cannot be seen by server administrators.
  • Writers and administrators can only display data from their authorized domains.

• Procedures and resources from published Self Help projects will not be displayed.
• The dashboard in the Activity pane is managed by EasyVista. You cannot modify the KPIs displayed.

Best Practice

• Apply the filters available to limit the number of procedures and resources displayed in the Recently changed pane.
• Writers can use the Online Studio Home page as an entry point to access the Desktop Studio. This enables them to open a procedure or resource directly in edit mode.

Recently changed pane

This displays procedures and resources associated with the domains that logged-in users are authorized to access. Components are displayed from most recently to least recently changed.
         

• The list indicates the number of components displayed as well as the total number of components.
  • The total number of components corresponds to the number of procedures and resources filtered by Self Help project, domain, author and/or period.
  • The number of components displayed corresponds to the total number filtered further based on their workflow status and/or their type, i.e. procedure or resource.

• The following information appears for each component:
  • The first row displays the component name as defined in the Desktop Studio, i.e. procedure title or resource name.
  • The second row displays the domain where the component belongs, the associated Self Help project, its status within the approval workflow, and the writer who last modified it.

• Components in the list are sorted from most recent to least recent modification date in the Desktop Studio.
