The test version of PolicyHub used during training and testing has been wiped clean.  Now you will need to format the database to meet your company’s requirements.  This checklist has been designed to guide you through the steps needed to configure your new PolicyHub environment.

Best Practice:  

Develop and document naming conventions for all areas of the application:

1. Develop, and document, naming conventions for all areas of the application, including but not limited to documents, folders, workflows, rules, etc. 
2. Include why the naming conventions have been developed and their importance. 
3. This document becomes particularly helpful when there is a change in system administrators. 

Items to be configured: 

1. Roles:  Create any new roles that are required for your business and update the role permissions associated with each role.  Roles and Permissions Quick Reference Guide.  
2. Assign Roles and Permissions to Users, if applicable.  Note:  By default, everyone added to PolicyHub has the role of “User” automatically.  Additional roles only need to be applied to Administrators, Reviewers or company-specific roles.  Roles and Permissions Quick Reference Guide.
