New workflow triggers

Workflow on rollback/roll forwardFor compatibility it is switched off by default

WF can be auditable: changes are tracked for each activity within a workflow instance

14

Workflow auditing: compare or preview

Auditing for all activities per workflow instancePreview and compare content as it was ‘half-way’ a workflow

15

Workflow auditing: configuration

Snapshots of content are stored Even when schema changes, content can still be viewed

Separate templates for visualization of snapshots

17

Modular Templating

Templates consist of multiple individual modules Each module has its own role in delivering the end result Modules can be for visual design or code Modules can be written in HTML, XSLT, JavaScript, VBScript or any .NET

language (in any combination) Modules can be made using Dreamweaver or Visual Studio Modules are reusable across templates R5 delivered with modules out-of-the-box

Existing templates will still work in R5.3

18

Open template with Template Builder

19

Template Builder

Template Builder allows you to assemble and debug templatesRun & measure

20

Template Builder builds a ‘package’

Package: all data that is needed to build the Web pageData includes URI’s, JPEG, XML,HTML, binary, CSS, array, text, ...Every module adds to the package

21

Parametrized building blocks

Parameters:to definebehavior of themoduleExamples:

Accessibility level Binary location

22

Debugging templates

Debugger:all standardoperationsOutput view:output of modules is shown

23

Visual design: Dreamweaver

Dreamweaver can be used to edit the design part of templates

Standard Dreamweaver functionality

No R5 knowledge needed

24

.NET assembly: Visual Studio

Visual Studio can be used to modify the code part of temlates

Any .NET language IntelliSense TOM.NET Remote debugging Post-build step

to store assemblies in R5

25

Modular Templating options

Page Templates, Component Templates and Template Building Blocks can all be modularTemplate Building Blocks can now be:

A .NET assembly…

…or written in C# Dreamweaver XSLT VBScript JavaScript

26

Modular Templating benefits

Modular Templating fulfills enterprise level requirements

Modular design: separate visual design, content and code Reusable building blocks Choose, combine and extend technologies BluePrinting & brand management Support for industry-standard tools Shorter time to market
