Resonate KT - ActiveView 2.0

Open Text's Content Server (Livelink™ Enterprise Server) is an extremely powerful ECM solution. With so much functionality to surface and different user roles to satisfy, many users find its interface unintuitive or lacking in pertinent information. The many functions, options, and menu items can be overwhelming and regularly present a complex and confusing view to end-users. ActiveView helps to simplify and enhance your Content Server (Livelink) user experience by allowing you to develop interfaces attuned to your users' exact needs.

ActiveView is the leading tool for customization and simplification of Open Text's Content Server user interface. Unlike alternative approaches, ActiveView's attraction is its ability to entirely customize the browse interface whilst retaining optimal system performance. With a minimum of effort ActiveView can readily make Content Server (Livelink) objects look and operate the way you need them to, including:

• Folders
• Projects
• Function Menus
• Item Menus
• Log-in page
• and more ...

Increase user adoption

There are many factors influencing user adoption and the success of any technology rollout, but key to many is the overall usability and relevance of a business tool to its end-users. Through the use of ActiveView, you are able to create simplified or enhanced user interfaces that are pertinent to the tasks being performed.

Knowledge Managers often want to see extra data in the browse view such as records management information or the status of an item in a linked workflow; or they may need custom menu items to perform actions on an item. But an ordinary user looking for published content wants simpler menu items and a simpler view showing just published items. Why should they have to navigate through complex menus full of options they will never need to use, or trawl through draft items they shouldn’t see? Using ActiveView 2.0, superfluous menu items can be hidden from view, renamed or added based on a user's role or the content area they are working within, simplifying the interface and improving the overall work processes. Content items can be filtered by role, meta-data or other means making it easier for users to find the content relevant to them.

Upgrade safe

Take the pain out of system upgrades by tailoring your user experience through the use of ActiveView instead of traditional custom Oscript modules. ActiveView takes the heavy lifting out of upgrades by providing a consistent environment for your interface changes to run within. Using a fully supported and productized method of customizing your user interface ensures a lower ongoing Total Cost of Ownership. The latest version of ActiveView is supported on Livelink 9.5, 9.6, 9.7 and 9.7.1.

Security

ActiveView uses the standard, pre-existing Content Server infrastructure to retrieve information before presenting it to the end-user. This means ActiveView always observes user permissions and privileges and content security is assured.

Proven technology

Under the hood ActiveView utilizes the power of the popular Open Text - WebReports engine, allowing you to deploy cutting edge solutions with the comfort of knowing you are using one of the most commonly deployed Content Server extension modules. (Note: ActiveView ships with a WebReports run-time license. To use the complete WebReports functionality a full WebReports license is required.)
