ShareVision Deployment Overview

Applies To Version(s): 3, 3.5 & 3.7

This guide provides information about the requirements for setting up your new ShareVision site. It is designed as a step-by-step framework for the general process of deploying ShareVision to your organization.

  1. Review the Data Migration and Importing documentation.
    1. If you will be importing some data yourself, you may be able to skip or modify certain steps below, especially where it relates to supported Individuals and contacts.

  2. Add your administrators to your site so that all members of your implementation team have full access.
    1. Create a unique user account for each user: three parts.  Make sure to add these users to the Administrator group.
    2. Give administrators full access by setting their status to Site Administrators.
    3. Learn to manage users if you need to make any additional adjustments.

  3. Review the lists and document libraries that come with your site.
    1. Review the included lists (electronic forms).                                                                 
      1. Decide which lists you want to use. Rename lists as needed.
      2. Add/hide/rename columns (fields in the form) to match your existing forms.
      3. Make a list of forms that need to be created. Create new lists in ShareVision.  Of course, new lists and libraries can be created at any time, but it's best to have as much set up as possible from the start.
    2. Repeat the above steps for reviewing the included document libraries

    Security
    in ShareVision means protecting the privacy of those you serve by securing your site against unauthorized access. Security also ensures that authorized users access only content they need to see. Security can be set up on any list or library, though it is most commonly set up for programs, residences, and Individual profiles.
    Permissions control user access, defining what users can do in ShareVision with the content they have access to.
