Assigning co-ownership of a MARS app with a colleague

This scenario includes the context and approach for assigning the co-ownership a MARS app with a colleague.

Context

Maggie, a support engineer at Future Software, has created the MARS app approvalportaldmf. The MARS app contains some approval workflows for one of her customers, Dunder Mifflin Prepress. In combination with a customized HTML page for Dunder Mifflin Prepress, these workflows can be used as a portal. The workflows and the HTML page will be very useful for other CLOUDFLOW users as well, so Maggie wants to make the MARS app publicly available on MARS (see Scenario: publishing a MARS app).

However, Maggie experiences that some of her workflows run into some errors. She tried to solve them, but she keeps on running into the same problems. Therefore, she asks Rick, her colleague support engineer at Future Software, to help her. Maggie assigns Rick as a co-owner of the MARS app, so he can:
  • Install it.
  • Investigate the errors.
  • Edit the MARS app if needed.
  • Upload a new and corrected version of the MARS app.

Approach

Maggie has not yet uploaded the MARS app approvalportaldmf to MARS, so she needs to upload it first:
  1. She logs in to CLOUDFLOW with his username and password.
  2. In MARS > My Apps > Installed, she selects Upload to MARS next to the MARS app approvalportaldmf.
  3. She selects Upload to MARS.
The MARS app approvalportaldmf is now uploaded to Maggie's personal space on MARS.

Now Maggie needs to assign Rick as a co-owner of the MARS app:

  1. She opens MARS > My Apps > Available. This list gives an overview of all the CLOUDFLOW Applications that are available on Maggie's personal space on MARS and that she can share.
  2. Next to the MARS app approvalportaldmf, she selects Details.
  3. She selects Add Owner ... and enters Rick's customer code: BE-RICK.
  4. She selects Add Owner.
The MARS app approvalportaldmf is on Rick's personal space on MARS.
  1. Rick opens MARS and has access to the MARS app approvalportaldmf.
  2. He selects Install.
  3. He finds the errors and makes the necessary changes.
  4. He uploads a new version of the MARS app, where he changes the version number and the changelog file.
  5. Since Maggie is also the owner of the MAES app, she has access to the updated version on her personal space on MARS.
  6. She selects Update to install the updated MARS app on her CLOUDFLOW system.
