For a consistent look and feel, many Systems have a header and footer that is uniformly shown on all pages.
Why have headers and footers?
Repositories are now being used by thousands of users per company as the primary way to deliver all documentation and company information. These headers and footers allow the outside world to know what organization is presenting this data and how to get back to the main menu (not the RoAccess main menu, but your department or company's main menu).
Below is a sample where the header is a single graphic to define the product and the footer is a single graphic so a user can click on it to go to the department or other main high level service menu. This service menu might have Repository Management plus a large number of others. Headers and footers allow you more easily integrate new applications into your existing corporate framework.
The images here would be the same ones used in your other WEB and non-WEB service products you provide to your customers. Your products and services will then have a similar "look and feel".
Below is a sample from a RoAccess user that has a quite complex footer
with a number of hyperlinks. Again, this footer appears on just about
all pages:
This allowed her to highly integrate RoAccess into their application
environment and jump from RoAccess to a number of other places with simply
a single mouse click. This is what integration is all about.
For both the simple graphic button to the hyperlink block, again No programming was required! You just make entries into the configuration file!
Since any page of RoAccess can be directly accessed via a URL (MSIE Favorite or Netscape Bookmark), many users will not even have to log into an application to get their information. It just pops up. But how to you get them back to the main services menu? Easy. You just add a header footer with a clickable image or text.
If you are providing a Internet-WIDE service, you can have your header be a sales banner that changes for each access.
RoAccess provides you industrial strength WEB application building tools. Actually, many applications won't need building at all because RoAccess does so much out-of-the-box!
Yes, you can do metadata management. But that is only one of literally
hundreds of uses for the WEB/Intranet.
