Video
Overview
Video — Business Overview
The Video document type is used in Dafater to manage and organize video content that supports business communication, learning, and engagement. It acts as a central register for videos used across the organization, such as training materials, announcements, product demonstrations, or instructional content.
Rather than storing videos informally across emails or shared drives, Video helps businesses keep video resources structured, accessible, and consistently used.
What the Video document is used for
In day-to-day business operations, Video is used to:
- Store and reference official business videos in one place
- Share training and learning content with employees
- Support onboarding, internal communication, or policy awareness
- Maintain marketing or informational videos for reuse
- Ensure teams access the correct and approved version of video content
It provides a controlled and professional way to manage video-based communication.
Prerequisites and setup requirements
Before using Video, businesses should ensure:
- A clear purpose for using videos (training, communication, marketing, etc.)
- Agreed guidelines on who can create, update, or publish videos
- Availability of video content hosted on approved platforms or storage
- Basic content standards such as titles, descriptions, and usage context
Having these in place ensures videos are consistent, relevant, and trusted.
Typical workflow and business fit
A common business workflow using Video looks like this:
- A team creates or sources a video for a specific purpose
- The video details are recorded in a Video document
- The video is reviewed for relevance, accuracy, and branding
- Once approved, the video is shared or linked within Dafater processes
- Employees or stakeholders access the video as part of their work or learning
This workflow helps integrate video content into everyday business activities instead of treating it as separate or informal material.
Key business scenarios where Video is essential
Video is especially valuable in scenarios such as:
- Employee training and onboarding programs
- Internal announcements from leadership
- Step-by-step process explanations
- Product or service demonstrations
- Awareness campaigns or policy rollouts
In these cases, video improves understanding, consistency, and engagement compared to written communication alone.
Important considerations for users
When working with Video, users should keep in mind:
- Videos should always have a clear business purpose
- Content must be accurate, up to date, and aligned with company messaging
- Old or unused videos should be reviewed and archived regularly
- Sensitive information should only be shared with appropriate audiences
- Clear naming and descriptions help users find the right video quickly
Used thoughtfully, Video becomes a powerful tool for communication, learning, and knowledge sharing within Dafater.
