Article Summary

It is possible to work on collections together with one or more co-workers. What they can do with your collection is determined in the Collection Role setup.

The power to share collections is set in the users Role as defined under Admin>Roles>Collection in your Cirrus environment.

By Default Cirrus offers 3 Roles (Author, Co-Author, Reviewer) which can be chosen when you share a collection, but this could be fully customized by your system administrator.

Sorting

Changing the numbers in the 'Sorting' row allows you to change the order of the columns. This is only an adjustment of the visible presentation. It will not change anything about the individual roles and rights. The role with the highest number will be shown on the most left of the overview. Most likely this is the system administrator.

Status management

In the items you can set a status. A Live status is used when the item is ready to be used in an assessment. However Cirrus provides multiple statussen to provide different kinds of access to certain users/roles

Available statusses
DraftItem is still in progress
Ready for reviewItem can be reviewed by a co-worker/reviewer
Reviewed - approvedItem is approved by a co-worked/reviewer
Reviewed - not approveditem is not approved by a co-worker/review, should be revised.
LiveItem is ready and set to be used in assessment. Only Live items will be shown in the question selection of assessments
WithdrawnItem was live, but is withdrawn and should not be used anymore in assessment. For Blueprints it will be automaticly taken out of the item selections


By defining the status management you can setup which statussen will be shown for what collection user role:
Deny > Item with this specific status will not be shown on the item overview for the shared collection
Modify > You are able to see and change the status for an item.
View > You can only view this status on existing items, but you cannot change it to this status

Default role for the creator of the collection

When a new collection is created you can setup a default role. Most likely this will be automaticly the role of the owner, however this can be set for only 1 role at the time,
