Process for users to maintain public subsets?

Post by fleaster »

Ok, basically we have a number of departments that use (private) subsets, however need to use the same subsets across various team members.

Am curious to know what is "best-practice" in this scenario or what people have found to work/not-work e.g. possible options:

(A) User creates private subset then notifies Admin. Admin manually recreates it as a public subset.
(B) User creates private subset then notifies Admin. Admin locate the private .sub file and then convert it to a public file
(C) User submits a template with the subset they want; Admin uses the template in a TI process to create the public subset
(D) ...other options...?

Let me know what you guys think :)

Cheers!

(D) User creates a list with the subset they want; User runs TI process to create the public subset. (Like your C but give the user control if you dare)
(E) Create a TI process to pick up .sub file from the user's directory and copy it to the user directories of other specified users. The private subset will now be "shared" by a group of users
(F) Create a TI process to read the contents of the private .sub file and convert to public subset
(G) ...other options...?

thanks for that, I like the sound of this option :)
