This checklist is meant to be a general guideline for tasks to be performed for a Narrative Reporting implementation. It is assumed that the Identity Domain Administrator has created users and granted predefined roles. There may be more or fewer tasks required for this role on Day 1, depending on the involvement of implementation partners, your organization’s requirements, and the application design.
