Navigation
|
-
Integration with Calendar of Meetings: the navigation to all document reservation information
is now done via the calendar of meetings. New links are provided when
viewing a document details that allow to view the list of documents for
that meeting, to reserve a new document number, and to navigate to the
FTP area holding all the documents for that meeting.
-
Stand-Alone Pages:
all pages can now be accessed directly, with a single parameter (either
the meeting identifier or the document identifier depending on the
page). This will allow links to a document list, or a document details,
or even to the page to reserve a new document number to be easily sent
to people via email or to be included into a web page.
-
Frames: the
application no longer uses frames. This allows for greater flexibility
in the navigation.
-
Contextual Menu: a menu to different meetings and meeting documents options is now available at the bottom
of each page of the Meeting Documents application.
|
Document List
|
-
Link to Uploaded Files: the link to the uploaded document no longer requires the
filename to be exactly the same as the name reserved. The document can
also be found if the beginning of its name corresponds to the filename
reserved followed by a space and then a file extension. Between the
space and the file extension, any string can be used. Any file extension
can be used and will still be found (this is to allow the use of ZIP
file).
-
Security: a username
is no longer needed when viewing the list of documents for a meeting.
-
Statistics: the
numbers appearing at the bottom of the document list have changed. Now
shown are the total of numbers reserved, the total numbers withdrawn,
the total of addenda, the total of revisions, the last date a
modification to a reservation was done, the total number of files
uploaded with the correct name, and the last date a file was uploaded
with the correct name.
-
Summary List: you now have 2 different types of document lists available: a summary list for quick scanning
of the list and a detailed list for viewing more information. A checkbox allows to switch between the 2 types of
lists.
|
Other
|
-
Document List Generation: the document list generation saved in the FTP area for
that meeting is always generated whenever there is any changes done to a
reservation. This is no longer dependent on the rights of the person
making the change.
-
Relative Links in Static Document List: the HTML document list saved in the FTP area for that
meeting now contains relative links to found documents. This will allow
people to copy the whole directory and still have the links work and
point to their local files.
-
Reserving a New Number: the message appearing after a successful document number
reservation is always indicating that the reservation was successfully
completed and it shows the details of the document number reserved.
-
Addendum and Revision Creation: in order to avoid conflict between 2 users doing a
reservation for an addendum or a revision for the same document at the
same time, the name reserved is only shown after the reservation has
been completed.
-
Stylesheets:
Stylesheets are now being used in some of the pages of the Meeting
Documents application. These allow lighter pages and more flexibility in
changing the formatting.
-
Help: The user guide
has been rewritten to comply with the new interface.
-
Document Path Abstraction: The application is now more flexible in terms of where
it needs to be installed as the path, where the documents are
accessible, can now be abstracted. This is done via a database table
that allows to resolve a path based on the computer name where the
application is running.
-
Architecture:
Last but not least, although not visible, the architecture behind the document management has been
totally redesigned to make it more scaleable.
