This guide covers the functionality and features that are available to users and administrators of the Enterprise Bizverse Portal, an application that serves as the baseline platform for the numerous Growthware solutions that are on offer to Bizverse members. The content presented on these pages is designed to familiarize users with the operation of this portal, its functions and its features. The aim is to help you to optimally use and manage your Bizverse site.

The content of this guide has been arranged into eight sections, as follows:

• Portal Overview - provides an introductory overview of the portal and in particular the functional scope, structure, user interface, and architecture employed by the portal;

  • Administration Functions – this class of functions (administration) manages the application backbone of the portal. To ‘use’ the portal’s operations functions it is necessary for certain control data to be set up, such as the portal's users and their rights. Administration functions provide the functionality that allows the administrator to establish and maintain such control data. This section of the User Guide provides an introduction and detailed explanation of these functions.

  • Operations Functions - these functions represent the essence of the portal; in other words, what the portal is really all about. It namely provides the ability for users to create and maintain a very comprehensive picture of their organization, referred to as a Bizverse Profile. This profile is a useful artifact that allows managers to communicate critical information to its various stakeholders (such as policies to its staff, and value propositions to its customers). This section of the User Guide provides an introduction and detailed explanation of these functions.
