Operations
Personas
Every Ops menu, what it is for, and the order to learn it
Operations packs unlock the sidebar groups you see in the live app: Operations, Catalog, Organization, Team, and Settings. Your pack may hide items you do not need.
Use this page as a feature-by-feature tour that matches the Ops chrome.
Operations group
| Feature | Purpose | Typical actions |
|---|---|---|
| Reports | Incoming issues and confirmations | Triage, open detail, assign, close |
| Jobs | Work already in flight | Watch started jobs, follow up stuck proofs |
| Request receptacle | Campus asks for a new bin or placement | Review requests, turn approved asks into catalog work |
Open Reports. Sort by newest or most confirmed.
- Open one issue. Compare photos, bin code, and confirmations.
Assign a crew from Jobs or the report action your campus uses.
- When proof arrives, verify and close.
Catalog group
| Feature | Purpose | Typical actions |
|---|---|---|
| Bins | Physical assets and public codes | Create, edit placement, print labels, retire |
| Learn | Student-facing guides with colorful accents | Draft, publish, feature on Learn home |
| Campuses | Map places inside your institution | Add sites, keep names clear for reporters |
| Waste streams | Organic, recyclable, general, and local streams | Keep labels honest for place sheets |
Open Bins and find a training bin by public code.
Open Learn and skim one published guide the way a student would.
Check Campuses and Waste streams so map labels match reality.
Organization group
| Feature | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Faculties | Academic units used for context and rankings |
| Departments | Finer units for onboarding and normalized leaderboards |
- Confirm faculty and department names match how the registrar talks about the campus.
- Avoid renaming mid-semester unless Operations agrees on the communication plan.
Team group
| Feature | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Staff | Invite people and attach packs |
| Roles & permissions | Define packs of capabilities (and scopes when used) |
Open Roles & permissions. Read what each pack unlocks.
Open Staff. Invite a training account with Map only first.
- Sign in as that person and confirm the right surfaces appear.
Settings group
| Feature | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Brand | Logo and campus visual identity in product chrome |
| Website | Public site copy your school controls |
| Labels | Printable bin tags and related print settings |
- Review Brand so the live app matches handover artwork.
- Skim Website copy for outdated campus names.
- Print one label for a training bin and check the QR in the field.
Insights extras (when granted)
Some packs also show Analytics, Leaderboard, or Impact under Operations. Use them for weekly review, not for day-one triage.
Learn Ops in this order: Reports → Jobs → Bins → Staff → Roles. Catalog polish and Brand can wait until the daily loop runs cleanly.
