To publish content, users simply select from a list of pre-approved, standard data entry templates, then enter text, select images, or define metadata. Then they can visually preview their work and submit finalized content and any pre-compiled renditions for approval. Browser-based GUI with JSP architecture provides layout controls and a visual content element hierarchy. It also extends powerful formatting and editing capabilities with support for spellcheck and search features. By browsing and linking to images and assets in the workareas, contributors can embed hyperlinks in the text areas directly from this tool.
Users can also preview the selected file and images from within the templating interface.
In addition, RTF elements can be customized at the user level on the basis of TeamSite roles or IDs to set different defaults. Casual Contributor Interface provides URL-based access to templates. Users can also bookmark data capture records for frequent editing and can send links to contributors via e-mail. Templating provides the ability to search different data types, including full text search on XML text elements and numeric evaluation on date elements. With this interface, content contributors can easily locate and re-use assets for publishing new, relevant information to the Web and wireless devices.
