ALISS has expanded their claims process to streamline their site

The ALISS team have introduced more ways to claim and manage information on the ALISS system.

ALISS is ‘A Local Information System for Scotland’; its vision is that everyone in Scotland can access the information they need to help them live well. ALISS allows users to find relevant local and national services, groups, activities and resources by providing a searchable web-based information platform.  

The ALISS team have been working to streamline and develop the site following user feedback. One of the latest developments is improvements to the way to ‘claim’ information. This enables those that share their information the opportunity to have ownership of that information and prevents other users on ALISS from editing it. Previously, the only way an account holder could claim information, was by taking ownership of an entire organisation. Now there are two key updates: 

1. ALISS account holders are able to claim individual services without having to claim the entire organisation 

2. ALISS ‘Claimed Users’ are able to approve ‘Managers’ to help them maintain their information 

Chris Mackie, Digital Assistant Director said: 

“The expansion of our claims process came directly from insights gathered by our engagement team. Our ALISS partners and contributors needed more ways to distribute and diversify their workload when adding or managing their information within our programme. We hope that these new claims functions allow others to divide the responsibilities up in a way that best suits their team dynamics and therefore save them time and reduce any barriers.”
