XyEnterprise ContentaView V3.5 Adds Significant New Features And Support for S1000D V3.0
Tuesday 06. May 2008 - Provides users with advanced searching, troubleshooting, applicability filtering, and generic forms capabilities
XyEnterprise, a leading developer of award-winning XML content management and multi-channel delivery solutions, today announced the release of ContentaView 3.5. This latest update further positions ContentaView as a leader in the intelligent information delivery of interactive, textual and multimedia content.
ContentaView 3.5 adds support for advanced applicability filtering for the S1000D V3.0 applicability model and process data modules. It also provides enhanced content reuse, searching, reporting and audit trail capabilities. All of this is readily configurable to support specific customer requirements.
Users can quickly ensure they are working with the current approved version of content via the new One Click update feature, which provides an immediate, easy-to-use method to install incremental updates from within ContentaView.
ContentaView 3.5 can be configured to track not only the manual updates for each work station where it is installed, but also each section viewed, and every keystroke entered by a maintenance technician. A log of each session is captured in XML format, and can be routed as appropriate to confirm regulatory compliance or improve the maintenance function.
The enhanced applicability feature allows consumers to filter the content they see based on applicability criteria relevant to their organization and document types. For example, an end user may select the “expert” version of content for one product while another may choose to view the “novice” content for a second product. Some other examples of applicability criteria that can be used to filter content at runtime are:
Product- e.g., aircraft tail number, part number, product version number
Status- e.g., location, weather conditions, maintenance status
Operator- e.g., skill set, language
S1000D V3.0 applicability allows a user to select these conditions individually, or by selecting a product from the S1000D product cross-reference table. For example, a user could simply enter a tail number of a specific aircraft and ContentaView 3.5 would load all of the applicability settings registered to that tail number.
ContentaView V3.5 now includes a new generic forms utility which provides the ability to easily create online forms that can capture any type of information to help improve the product, process or user experience. From within ContentaView, a user can then access, complete and print these forms. In addition, these forms can be easily transmitted in an XML format to the appropriate location, creating a closed-loop system.
These features leverage the existing adaptive publishing environment of ContentaView, including powerful search, navigation, assembly and real-time presentation of content delivered as XML components.
