Where is KnowledgeTree 3.x going?
The focus for the KnowledgeTree 3.x product roadmap is:
- increasing ease of use for both business users and administrators;
- increasing the application's applicability in regulatory compliance scenarios;
- cleaning up the application architecture and making it easier for contributing developers to understand and extend the DMS;
- increasing system scalability, performance and robustness.
New and extended functionality
New and extended functionality includes:
- Entirely new template-based user interface, allowing for easy changes to the application's look and feel and easy to implement co-branding opportunities.
- On-demand indexing of files as opposed to scheduled indexing, ensuring files are searchable immediately after uploading and simplifying the installation of the server.
- Secure versioning of document metadata, not just the document itself. This vastly increases the application's applicability in regulatory compliance scenarios.
- A new tree document metadata type has been added with the tree being represented graphically on the user interface.
- The User/Group schema has been extended to allow groups to be nested, thus providing for the mapping of users in more complex organisations.
- The move folder and move file functionality is now transactional and records a history of changes to the folder structure.
- Bulk import functionality allows administrators to import large numbers of files from external data sources quickly and easily.
- KnowledgeTree administrators may customise and extend the KnowledgeTree online help facilities using a web-based editor.
- A powerful plug-in architecture, providing KnowledgeTree developers with the ability to easily create new application functionality, hook into system events and expose the functionality on the user interface.
- A revamped permissions system which is easier to use and provides finer grained control over a user's actions than in KnowledgeTree 2.x. The extended functionality also lets KnowledgeTree community developers create their own permissions on the system, allowing their plug-ins to easily check permissions that they require to function.
