APPLICATION SETTINGS
Organization Settings:
Once you have your Administrator account, navigate to the Organization tab.
Organizations and categories are the foundation of the customized submission workflows, which are one of the biggest changes in Vireo 4 from prior versions. You can create as many submission workflows as you wish. Creating an Organization is how you begin to create a submission workflow.
Vireo has one preset organization named Institution. Institution is a preset which contains all the of the workflow default settings. It should NEVER be used to accept submissions and should RARELY be edited. In your fresh Vireo 4 installation, you will see Institution as the only organization listed.
As an Administrator, you will also see a bottom panel with the workflow steps for the Institution. Here, in the Manage Organization tab, you can change the Institution name to your own institution.
