An editor can track the status of each item in the context of the page prior to updating the live site. Customizable features include user-defined workflow, proactive notification, and audit trails. Managerial-level approval of content and scheduling can also be done through the Production Center. StoryServer 3 supports complete control over an application's content assets. It supports a number of different views based on the type of asset, project assignment, status and so forth.
Assets can reside as objects in the file system or inside a database.
As noted above, multiple databases are supported. Replication and deployment are managed strictly by meta-data rather than by directory structures. This facilitates the deployment of a complete project without errors. There is automated control over live and development records, which minimizes the need for database mirroring. The system also supports user uploads of content from within a browser.
