Capabilities
Live browser access to the repository
Portal provides browser access to the live iServer repository
allowing users to see the most up to date versions of processes and
process documentation (without the need to publish a new
baseline).
Issues & issue notification online
Portal offers a facility for browser users to contribute to
document and object change management via the browser interface.
Users can raise improvement suggestions, change requests and assign
tasks to other users for review and resolution as well as raise and
notify interested parties of issues either for action, sign-off or
resolution
Stakeholder view based access
Visibility of process information to browser users is controlled
by iServer profiles, facilitating the creation of custom views for
users with a different process interest or view.
Navigation directly to document & model components
Embedded links within the process content allow browser users to
jump straight from one process to another (drill-down or jump to a
parallel or related process), open a useful instruction document,
or jump to a specific section of an extended description or form.
Customers also have embedded links to live applications to help
explain how a process works.
Option to download iServer Portal content
Download a model or document to pass to other interested parties
either inside or outside the business. Such interested parties may
include suppliers, customers, auditors and partners
Printing models & documents online
Print copies of useful models and documents directly from Portal
for use in meetings or for further distribution to others around
the business
Powerful multi-filter search
Advanced searching capabilities allow complex search terms to be
built with combined filtering of custom attribute values and the
ability to search in groups. A new interface improves the user
experience and overall look and feel of the search function.
Analyze and report on process information from within the
browser
Generate high quality deliverables for use in process
improvement projects or day-to-day work by running reports reated
by your iServer administrator. Reports could include essential
process documentation, work instructions or reports on the
completeness of the processes produced.
Easy to use, intuitive navigation & viewing
environment
New technologies such as XPS, XAML and Silverlight provide more
intuitive and efficient ways for users to browse through the
repository contents online. The use of browse based on the familiar
Windows Explorer view of the iServer repository helps to locate
relevant content, or use the search window and use pan & zoom
facilities to move quickly and easily around model and document
content.
Choice of Portal entry page
Get faster access your process content by specifying a favorite
starting point whether you regularly start from a diagram, navigate
through folders, look for issues or begin by searching for
information.
Customizing viewing environment
Each Portal user can tailor the location and display of
information panels, ensuring that Portal matches their preferred
way of working.
Active directory integration
As the volume of Portal users is likely to be high, Portal can
automaticlaly provision users from their Windows login information
ensuring user administration time is kept to a minimum and users
are active as quickly as possible.
