Keep your processes up to date with content certifications

When you have hundreds of resource articles, keeping track of each article can be difficult. Especially, when those articles are changing and evolving regularly. Ensuring accuracy and accountability is critical to building and maintaining a trustworthy knowledge base for your employees.

With content certifications, you are prompted to review and certify that specific articles, guides, checklists, and workflows are up to date.

Then, you can assign automated reminders to review articles so that your information never gets outdated.

Assign Process Owner

1

Assign an owner to each article that requires certification

Accountability and organization are key to maintaining a trustworthy knowledge base. Each article in your knowledge base should have an owner, responsible for certifying the accuracy of the information and updating the information as processes change. 

With content certifications in ScreenSteps, easily assign a process owner to each article. These process owners will be the only ones who can certify a specific article, ensuring that all of your information is accurate.

Set up reoccurring alerts to ensure processes are reviewed and certified on a consistent basis

In modern businesses, policies and processes evolve all the time. That's why it's important to regularly review and certify that the information in each article is accurate and up to date. 

With content certifications, you can easily set up reoccurring alerts for process owners. These alerts can be set up for any timeframe that makes sense for your business. From the user's perspective, they'll be able to clearly see the last time an article was certified, when it is next due for certification, and who the process owner is

Easily search and filter articles based on certification status

As a manager or content owner, it may be helpful to search and filter all of your articles based on their certification status. Maybe you're looking for all articles that are due for review. Or, you want all articles assigned to a specific team member.  

In ScreenSteps, we make it easy to search and apply filters based on a number of certification factors. This keeps you organized and running efficiently and effectively.

Keep track of certifications with revision history and timestamps

Sometimes you need to know where you've been in order to move forward. 

Within each article, ScreenSteps keeps a record of each article's certification, who certified them, and what the article looked like when it was certified

This allows for complete transparency and accountability and can be extremely helpful during reviews and audits.
