Welcome to InfoScribe, Infoway's new tool designed for the authoring and publishing of Clinical Requirements and Specifications. This guide will help you get familiar with the InfoScribe environment which was built using a web product called Confluence. Though this page will provide you with some of the basics in terms of getting started with InfoScribe, you can get more detailed help on site features by reviewing the Confluence User's Guide available here.

You will be logging into InfoScribe with your Infoway account. Your Infoway account is also used with InfoCentral and the Infoway corporate site. If you have registered with these sites already, use the same credentials to login here. If you have not yet registered for any of the sites, please proceed to the InfoCentral Wiki Registration Registration Page to get your account.
To login, simply click the top right corner of the InfoScribe page (as seen below). You can also navigate directly to the login page here.

To edit the page, click on the "Edit" link at the top right of the page. This will bring you to a new view that looks much like other publishing applications (e.g. Microsoft Word). See the editor toolbar below to familiarize yourself with the editing interface. In the view below, some of the important tools are highlighted including the selection of paragraph styles and character formatting (such as bold, italics, superscript), as well as the insert menu. You can get further details and valuable help on using the editor from Confluence's "Using the Editor" guide.

Users on InfoScribe will be playing different roles in the development of our Clinical Requirements and Specifications. As such, depending on your role, you may be granted different permission levels that will provide you with functionality within InfoScribe and within certain documents. In one instance, a user may be playing the role of author and as such will have extensive editing capabilities on a particular document; in another instance, the same user may be acting as a reviewer and therefore has permission to comment on the document, but is not able to edit the document directly. As noted earlier, this might also impact your ability to create a new space using the templates. Should you have any questions about the permissions granted to you, or the need to grant permissions to new contributors, please do not hesitate to contact us.
InfoScribe 'Sandbox'
In order for our users to familiarize themselves with the InfoScribe environment, we have setup two sample spaces where you can experiment with the various editing and reviewing features within InfoScribe. We have setup two such 'sandboxes': one based on the Clinical Requirements template, and one based on the Specifications Sandbox. Both of these spaces are available to all our InfoScribe users; you may access them with the links below.
