Access Rules

Create a custom enterprise research portal, without the custom cost

While researchers may be highly experienced in writing requirements for research projects, few have the time, interest or experience to write a specification document for a research management system.

Using Research Reporter, you can experiment with different processes, allowing you to achieve your optimal solution without having to write system specifications, or explain your requirements to your IT support team. Research Reporter’s flexible design also gives you the flexibility to change your configuration whenever your enterprise restructures, or when you wish to use additional functions.

Seamlessly blend Research Reporter with your corporate intranet

Research Reporter’s Look and Feel can be changed to help maximize acceptance and uptake by your enterprise. Look and Feel options include the ability to:

Change the Research Reporter name to reflect how you want to position the application within your enterprise
  Change images, fonts and color schemes
  Change application words and phrases to reflect your enterprise’s unique terminology

 

Control who can access your marketing information

Access to Market Research projects often changes from initial highly confidential stages, where information is only shared between key stakeholders, to stages where the information is freely available across the enterprise. Research Reporter’s project and document access options have been built on these unique requirements of market research.

Using Research Reporter, you can use a combination of security measures to restrict access based on a user's:

Department, allowing departments to share or protect their project information as they see fit
  Seniority within a department, allowing only senior executives to access highly confidential projects
  Role, matched with document type (eg only researchers can see supplier proposals)
  Inclusion in a project team.

Because project access restrictions can change, Research Reporter also includes automated procedures for “releasing” project results, as well as a range of highly intuitive components for resetting project security levels.

 

Manage projects activities your way

Research Reporter can be customized to reflect your own research policies and procedures, resulting in a unique web-based application that works the way you want to work.

With Research Reporter’s role-driven access rules, you can:

Allow projects to pass from project initiator, to research team, to supplier, based on your own research policies and procedures (eg project has now been commissioned, so allow selected agency to access project to complete their designated steps)
  Have different rules for different project types (different procedures for tracking vs ad-hoc, qualitative vs quantitative)
  Automatically record and change a project’s status, based on completion of project tasks
  Ensure compliance to your policies and procedures, by opening or closing access to project tasks, based on the completion of other task (eg brief cannot be changed after project has been commissioned)
  Automatically adjust project security levels, based on completion of tasks (eg project completed, so allow broader enterprise access)
