cc _ Portal ... the portal software solution...

 Community interaction on your intranet, extranet or Internet!

Modules:

The software provides for the creation and maintenance of databases that contain commonly used data served on community and business sites. The database information may be pulled into the default display templates or included in templates designed specifically for the site. Modules that can be used currently include:

Ø     Calendars – Out of the box, calendars are provided for events, birthdays and vacations. Calendar events can be scheduled for a given time slot or all day on a specific day or range of dates. Events may also recur on a weekly, monthly or annual basis. Module administrators may control who will be able to add or edit events and may also require approval of events before posting to the calendar. Standard calendars may be deleted or additional ones created by the administrators.

Ø     Events – Calendar events for a defined period of time may be displayed as a list. Depending on the number of events defined in the calendar, the module administrator may show events for the current day, the next week, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks or the current month.

Ø     People – cc_Portal provides for storage of information on people. People are segregated into those inside the portal’s organization and those outside. The type of information presented for each type may be the same or set up differently. Rights may be granted to either group of people. Lists of people from each group may be brought up and details on a particular person can be displayed. The type of information displayed on people is under the control of the module administrator.

Ø     Groups – cc_Portal allows for easy assignment of people to groups. Predefined groups, such as SysAdmin and ADMIN, are frequently used in the granting of authorizations. An individual user may be a member of any number of groups.

Ø     Bulletin Board – Messages can be posted to the bulletin board. The module administrator can define who is authorized to post messages or allow them to be posted by any visitor. Posted messages may be displayed immediately or sent for posting authorization to an administrator for approval prior to posting. Bulletin board messages can be allowed to remain posted until deleted or a time limit may be set that will delete messages older than a stated period of time.

Ø     Messaging – cc_Portal provides for the sending of ‘instant messages’ to all visitors, members of a particular group or to specific individuals. A user may specify the people to which they frequently send messages in their own ‘friends’ list. Messages can be allowed to remain available until cleared by the addressee or a time limit may be set that will delete messages older than a stated period of time.

Ø     Images – cc_Portal allows users to post images (pictures). The module administrator can control who is allowed to upload images. Each picture can have its own title and description text. The module administrator can control the size of the images displayed. When the image is displayed, the visitor can click the image to display a larger version of the image in a separate browser window. The module administrator can also control the size of this large image display.

Ø     Posting – Information stored on people can be automatically examined and reports on significant events contained in the data produced. This may be birthdays, wedding anniversaries, or other similar data based on dates. The module administrator can control they type of information displayed in the Posting module.

Ø     Banners – The banner database enables the module administrator to define groups of banners, typically grouped by size of banner and intended audience. These banners may then be rotated randomly on any of the template pages. Both the display and clicking of banners can be logged.

Ø    Weather – A local weather page that can use the visitor’s zip code to define the location shown. Many weather sites exist that will serve up local weather information and the module administrator specifies the one to be used.

Ø     Links –A list of links to sites of interest to the user community. Links can be grouped by type of information that they contain, making it easy for the visitor to identify those of interest. The module administrator can add or remove groups and individual links as needed.

Ø     Document Sharing – Extensive document sharing capabilities. Shared documents may be HTML files (web pages), Microsoft Word documents, Microsoft Excel documents, Adobe PDF files or any other type of file that can be understood by software installed on the visitor’s computer. The module administrator determines who is permitted to upload and access documents. Permissions may be set for access to all documents or for each individual document as appropriate, given the type of information being shared.
