Faceted Search
With SPA4D it was already possible to filter the search results per column. Now the results can be even more tuned in your quest for a document: facets.Facets can be used to also filter on result values that are not part of the columns in your search results. They can be set on the attributes of your choice per search scope. And once set, they are persisted even when you update your search criteria.
Preview in Search results
This feature should be familiar from working with the native SharePoint / Office 365 search results: content previews.Working with content from your search results is a natural habit. A feature present in SPA4D and now enhanced with content previews. Next to the ability to see document properties, versions and renditions, a preview of the content is now also available from within your search results.
ARender Preview
ARender is the real-time preview solution from Aerow. As of SPA4D 2.0 this solution can now be integrated to show previews in search results, tasks or any other place that allows you to view documents. This feature is again an example of delivering the user experience that is expected by the SharePoint user also available for content that resides in Documentum. Often, the interaction for casual users is limited to reviewing or approving content. Instead of learning to use the Documentum solution over and over again, these users are now provided with what they need in their comfort zone: SharePoint.
To Be Read
A great example of that comfort zone applies to a crucial aspect in Life Sciences: To Be Read (TBR) task. Every time e.g. a new SOP is to become effective, a group of – very often – casual users, not only need to read the new SOP on time, but also sign off on it.SPA4D 2.0 introduces this highly demanded feature to further reduce the training footprint within the life sciences industry. And of course, this is implemented in full compliance with the EMC Life Science Suite. From within the system, you don’t see the difference!
Case Dashboard
A key concept of our vision “Connecting People to the Enterprise”, is to ensure that life is made as easy for the business users as possible within the enterprise constraints. SharePoint makes that possible. Also for users that want a helicopter view on the information; that need a dashboard to keep in touch with what’s going on. Especially for Case Management solutions, SPA4D 2.0 now includes a Case Dashboard. Your one-stop overview of where you are with the case and with the ability to immediately start interacting with the case.
