General Information

System Overview

The features of the system include:

Functions

• Provide system and user administration to tenants.

• Match preformatted Excel or CSV lists to SPOR Master Data Management Services and G-SRS controlled substance lists.

• Provide the ability to create and set a Resolution Status to each term on your uploaded list.

Browser Compatibility Settings

General Settings

• SPORIFY makes use of modern web technology. To experience the system at its best we recommend a modern web browser listed below:

• The system has been tested successfully in Internet Explorer 11.70. However, it is not recommended to run the system in older versions of Internet Explorer due to possible compatibility issues with the angular framework technology used by the system.

Administration Guide

Organisation Units

The Organisation Units area of SPORIFY Administration enables administrators to create and manage groups of individual users. These groups can be used to assign Data Governance roles to multiple users simultaneously (see the Data Governance section of this guide for more information).

Available Actions:

• Add Root Unit

• Edit

• Add Sub Unit

• Add Member

• Delete Member

• Delete

Roles

The Roles area of SPORIFY Administration allows administrators to create and manage user roles by grouping together multiple permissions. These roles can then be assigned to users upon their creation, or via the Users area of the system.

On the Roles screen, Roles can be filtered by permission(s).

Available Actions:

• Create New Role

  • Role Properties:

    • Role Name

    • Default?

  • Permissions

• Edit

  • Edit Role Properties:

    • Role Name

All actions carried out while an administrator is logged in to another managed user account are clearly labelled in the audit log: “This operation is performed by another user on behalf of this user.”
