4.4 Industry scenarios and business composition

The initial design includes 7 industry entry points and 12 examples: enterprise services, content operations, e-commerce and retail, software development, education and training, local services, and six cybersecurity disciplines.

Security operations (SOC) is the complete workflow selected for development and acceptance in this phase. The other 11 examples are phase-two scenario designs to explain composition; they do not imply implemented workflows, published packages or active connections. Marketing research remains an additional example and does not replace this collection.

How the same business capabilities fit together

1. Describe the goal. Use ordinary language to describe records, pages and work to delegate, or choose a published, compatible marketplace solution.
2. Prepare records and pages. Review fields, relationships and board previews, then save the configuration. Local records are an option without external systems.
3. Configure employees and sources. Employees hold ongoing responsibilities, skills supply methods, and materials provide evidence. A connector supplies system access capabilities; your configured account creates the actual connection. Grant only the permissions needed for the work.
4. Delegate and follow progress. Link records to tasks and assignees. Follow progress, missing materials and decisions. Cross-business handoffs specify the receiving party and permitted information.
5. Review and return results. Link deliverables to their source records and distinguish task completion from business acceptance. Boards read actual records and status rather than maintaining separate copies of facts.
6. Continue the work. Ask follow-up questions or start another task from a record. Enable recurring rules separately; saving configuration does not start ongoing execution.

See Business areas and boards for current operations and the SOC tutorial for alert collaboration. The examples below describe how to combine these capabilities.

Bookings and service

Local services · Phase-two scenario design

Manage bookings, hand completed services to customer care, and attach follow-up suggestions to the booking.

• Records and board: Bookings, time slots, locations and service progress.
• Resources: Booking-coordination and customer-care employees; scheduling, service-summary and follow-up skills; service offerings and authorized customer preferences; an optional booking-system connection.
• Tasks, collaboration and results: Bookings create service-preparation tasks. Link service notes and follow-up suggestions to the booking. Track time slots and pending work; follow authorization for changes and customer messages.

Security operations

Cybersecurity · SOC · Current acceptance scenario

Summarize alerts from the last 30 days, investigate this cloud-host anomaly, and return findings and evidence to the alert.

• Records and board: Alerts, assets, evidence and investigation progress.
• Resources: Triage, investigation and review employees; alert-triage and evidence-review skills; response policies and authorized alerts; configured data connections.
• Tasks, collaboration and results: Assign an alert as a task, preserving links to progress and results. Review and accept the result, then open its accepted version from the alert. Summarize status and trends on the board; approve production response separately.

Application security

Cybersecurity · AppSec · Phase-two scenario design

Manage application vulnerabilities, send confirmed issues to development, and return retest evidence to the vulnerability.

• Records and board: Vulnerabilities, applications, remediation owners and deadlines.
• Resources: Application-security, development and retest employees; vulnerability validation, remediation advice and retesting skills; authorized reports, application inventories and remediation criteria; optional vulnerability and issue-tracker connections.
• Tasks, collaboration and results: Confirmed vulnerabilities create remediation tasks. Attach development results and retest evidence to the vulnerability. Track deadlines and remediation status; do not assume a fix without retesting.

Data security

Red-team assessment

Cybersecurity · Red team · Phase-two scenario design

Track an authorized assessment, ask security operations to validate detection, and return remediation results to the finding.

• Records and board: Authorized scope, windows, findings, detection coverage and retest tasks.
• Resources: Assessment-coordination, security-operations and retest employees; assessment-summary, detection-review and retest skills; written authorization, test windows and stop conditions; authorized tools and evidence only.
• Tasks, collaboration and results: Authorized findings create detection-validation and remediation tasks. Return verification results to the finding and track coverage and retests on the board. Check authorization before additional assessment actions.

Keeping cross-business collaboration linked to records

Client requirements go to project delivery, vulnerabilities to development, SOC cloud-host anomalies to cloud security, and missing GRC evidence to data security. The receiving area has its own task, assignee and authorized context. The source area retains the relationship, and necessary evidence and reviewed results return to its original record.

Relationships and page composition can be reused, while data connections, employee permissions and external actions are configured separately. Phase-two scenarios illustrate this design; they do not imply support for every connector or automatic handoff.

The content-team tutorial and marketing-research tutorial also explain employee responsibilities. Refer to published resources, compatible versions and preparation status in the Marketplace guide.
