Prerequisites.

For new customers, refer to the Welcome email for the login link and your password.

Step 1: Inform stakeholders

Web governance can affect many individuals across your company. Make sure you take some time to identify who will be impacted – both directly and indirectly – by Web Governance. Examples of stakeholders to notify include content creators, marketing departments, SEOs, webmasters, project managers, and IT directors.

Web Governance provides a handy guide and email templates for you to send to your stakeholders.

Step 2: Add your domains

Sign in to Web Governance and add all of your domains. Remember that domains with the same name that end in .com and .eu are two different domains.

For more information, see the user guide article:

Configure domains.

Step 3: Add the Web Governance script

Configure and add the Web Governance script. Once the script is installed, errors are highlighted on the page where they occur, and if your package includes the Analytics module, statistics begin to show up immediately.

Step 4: Create groups

Web Governance provides the option to create groups of pages and domains. This makes it easy to delegate responsibility across your team or different departments. Edit groups and add new groups at any time.

Step 5: Add users and assign groups

Next, add users and assign them to groups. Web Governance supports unlimited users. During new user creation, assign them to specific groups. Choose users to receive specific reports and set up their access with view or edit permissions.
