About Content Editors
The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) website uses a decentralized publishing workflow, meaning portfolios/departments are responsible for updating and maintaining their own web content.
Web Content Editors have access to manage content on specific areas/pages of the SHA public website and employee website (i.e., the intranet). Content editors and their managers accept accountability and responsibility for their online content. This includes responding to questions from the general public and news media on what is posted online.
Content editors must possess the technical skills and aptitude required to manage online content. This includes staying up-to-date on SHA online processes, standards and guidelines as well as conforming to best practice web writing principles and guidelines established for images, reading level, tone, formatting and overall presentation. Content editors not well-suited for the role may be flagged as requiring further training or replacement.
Requesting a Content Editor
My portfolio/department would like to add content to the SHA public website/staff website (i.e., intranet), what are our first steps?
- Plan out your provincial content and ensure it aligns with SHA’s web content strategy.
- Information on steps to take and questions to ask is available on the Adding Website Content page.
- Identify 2 staff members to be content editors. They will be responsible for updating and maintaining web content on behalf of your portfolio/department.
- Having too many content editors for an area can lead to gaps in understanding and quality control issues. Content updates need to follow an approval process with all content editors aware of their pages/areas of responsibility.
How does my portfolio/department request to add or remove a content editor?
- It is the responsibility of the accountable portfolio/department to notify SHA Web Changes when changes to their content editors occur.
- Minimum Manager level approval is required to add or remove content editors.
- Requests and approval are to be sent to SHA Web Changes.
- Once requests are received and approved and training is complete, access to the SHA Content Management System (i.e., Drupal) will be requested. Requests for access can take up to 15 business days.
Leaders (i.e., VPs, EDs, Directors or Managers) can email SHA Web Changes for a list of content editors for your department/portfolio or to add or remove a content editor.
