ATG Self Service with Authoring uses the same architecture as ATG Self Service, however, it operates with Call Center Mode turned off. As such, agents have access to a limited version of ATG Service Center that allows them to author and review solutions. ATG Self Service with Authoring provides access to the Research, Contribute, and Tasks tabs, which enables the ability to write and review solutions. Users can access the Query Builder and certain Helpful Panels (Favorites, Recently Viewed, Recent Searches, Search Results, Open by ID). Users can also escalate issues, but only using e-mail. Additionally, access rights are limited with ATG Self Service with Authoring, providing only Author and Review rights. Workflows are also simpler, with fewer steps.
