ISO+™ Structure

ISO+™ has a hierarchical structure that consists of four main components: Workspaces, Boards, Folders/Subfolders, Tabs, Items/Subitems, and Attributes.

Workspace is the highest level unit of ISO+ and is usually labelled as your company name plus the standard or program that you want to register for. For example, ABC - QMS indicates the quality management system of company ABC and XYZ - NDIS indicates the NDIS framework of company XYZ.

A workspace consists of Boards that indicate the modules of the management system or framework that you need to have. For example, the Human Resource Management module is used to manage all the activities and records related to human resources, such as hiring, onboarding, training, performance review, offboarding, etc. 

On each board, the board title, number of members and number of items created in that board are visible. 

A Board includes Folders, and a Folder can include Subfolders. e.g., the Employment Contract folder can include the Permanent Employment subfolder and subcontracting contract subfolder.

The Tabs allow you to view the items in one folder in different ways depending on your needs. For example, you can create different tabs for different team members so you can easily overview their tasks. 

You can also create a new tab in a folder to get a different view of the items. It includes Table, Columns, List, Calendar, Gantt, Form, Chart and Document views.

A Folder or Subfolder can include an Item as a representative of a single record. An Item can include subitems. e.g. a main task of a project as an item and the subtasks of the main tasks as subitems. 

An Item/subitem consists of various attributes. The attributes shape an item as its characteristics. For example, for each employee as an Item, we can use various Attributes to describe an employee, such as Name, Date of Birth, Address, Phone Number, Email Address, Position, etc.
