11 WEB CONTENT MANAGEMENT WYSIWYG editing and control of site content through the use of specific management tools based on a core repository. It includes content creation functions, such as templating, workflow and change management, and content deployment functions that deliver content to Web servers. About the product 11

12 WEB CONTENT MANAGEMENT Portal Remote Control: a graphical user interface that floats on top of pages (viewable with proper permissions), and allows users to modify pages directly from their web browser. Templates: templates define the layout of pages, and allow a Web designer to construct a more flexible site, which is easy to update, and provide consistency and continuity between pages. Templates can enhance productivity, allowing some members of the team to focus on the format of the pages, while other members of the team create new pages and revise the content without changing the formatted layout. About the product 12

13 ADDITIONAL FEATURES Search: users can search all managed content, whether within the internal content repository, or in external content repositories. Photo Gallery: a gallery or galleries can be placed on a site in various forms, and also allows searching among pictures uploaded into the gallery. Forum: users can establish an online community with forums, creating an arbitrary hierarchy of topics with the ability to add, delete, moderate, comment, search, receive notification of changes, set permissions, etc. Tagging, rating, commenting: the usual Web2 features of a website for interactive communication with the target audience. About the product 13

14 ADDITIONAL FEATURES RSS: content can be transformed into proper XML that can be used to serve RSS clients. User and SEO Friendly URLs: URLs of content items and pages themselves can be aliased and optimized for readability and search engine rankings. Content Repository: all company content (including documents, web pages, videos, images, audio records, users, groups, etc.), and web applications (including existing ones or legacy web applications), can be stored, controlled and managed in the Sense/Net Content Repository like it were the single-point-of-access to the backbone of the organization. About the product 14

15 ADDITIONAL FEATURES Taxonomy: create any number of categories and sub-categoies to apply to content brought into the system. Taxonomies can be searched and browsed either individually or in aggregate form. Permissions, Security, and Roles: users can only see what they have permission and privilege to see and work with. This is controlled by their job level, job description and current work assignments. These are managed in the system as roles and access control lists. A role gives permission to perform a certain task (like publish a new article) and access to a given content piece indicates whether one can perform a desired activity or not (like publish today s article). Provisioning and Delegation: creation and management of user accounts, groups, and permissions can be delegated to non-technical users, removing the over-reliance on IT to perform these functions. About the product 15

16 ADDITIONAL FEATURES Active Directory: user accounts and groups can be managed in Active Directory and synchronized with a built-in feature of Sense/Net, allowing for user profils to not have to be maintained in multiple environments. Multi-Site: any number of sites with any number of domain names can be used in a single Sense/Net installation. This is ideal for organizations that work with many intranet, extranet, and internet sites. Load Balancing: Sense/Net fully supports high-availability solutions such as clustering, failover, and Network Load Balancing. Portlets: the building blocks of pages built with Sense/Net, a portlet is a widget or small application that can be placed on a page to fulfill a specific task. These tasks can range from simply displaying content to searching and listing data from different databases. About the product 16

17 ADDITIONAL FEATURES Skins: a set of files that defines the look and feel of a site can be selected from a list by an end user, rather than having to work directly with a style sheet. Mashups: using data feeds, syndicate social media and other content from a variety of sites into a new, single application. API: Sense/Net is built on a lightweight REST architecture that makes creating mashups simple. The completely open Application Programming Interface (API) is a toolkit to make it easier to develop and extend the outof-the-box functionality, and is a perfect complement to the open source software. Open Source: enterprise scalability without being bound by a proprietary and closed system. Built on the.net platform, and being open source, Sense/Net 6.0 integrates with all major hardware and software standards and platforms, which means it is not tied to any endangered, obsolete, or proprietary technology.

PORTLET Page is a full-screen content viewing method that can display stand-alone, large content or larger applications Portlet: The non-technical definition Portlets are the building blocks of the Sense/Net 6.0 Page. A Portlet is a widget or small application that can be placed on the Page to fulfill a specific task. These tasks can range from simply displaying Content to searching and listing data from different databases. A Portlet is similar to an entire web page, but in a small, encapsulated form.
