ViewStar Application Framework
IVAF
Value Proposition
The
Ink2Web ViewStar Application Framework (IVAF) fast-tracks
ViewStar application development by simplifying the
programmer's task in creating either ViewStar browser-based
or traditional thick-client applications. The customer's
immediate benefits are reduced development cost and
improved productivity.
IVAF
Solution
The
IVAF Solution provides an easy-to-use front-end user
interface to any ViewStar workflow. This IVAF framework
enables customers to rapidly build new browser-based
or thick-client imaging applications using ViewStar's
EBPI technology.
IVAF
is designed in such a way that each user session is
stateless, thereby enabling a user's application session
to automatically reconnect to the next available web
server if the server they are currently interacting
with goes down or is unavailable. This is an important
feature for customers who want truly fault tolerant
systems and the ability to load balance work between
multiple servers.
One
of IVAF's major advantages is the ability to capture
and monitor employee productivity. IVAF will automatically
record the necessary statistics allowing management
to easily produce productivity reports. Some report
examples are total time logged into the application,
number of folders processed per day, and average processing
time per document.
IVAF
User Filters enhance ViewStar's security and queue logic
by controlling user access to documents in queues with
wide-ranging flexibility. By default, ViewStar grants
rights to all documents in a queue(s) attached to a
specific application node. The User Filters provide
a mechanism of searching a queue or library index with
pre-defined search attributes, thereby controlling a
user's access to the documents in a queue(s).
IVAF
increases throughput and ensures the accuracy of the
indexing function. In order to limit the input errors
invariably made during the indexing process, the ability
to pre-define the values of certain document attributes
(fields) is also provided within IVAF. Attributes for
which defaults exist are easily defined via an IVAF
associated table along with the valid values.
Other
features included with IVAF are: user-definable filters,
multi-viewer capability, multiple open modes (manual,
auto-next, and popup), library/workflow search capability,
markup and annotation capability, and page/document
deletion (if desired).
IVAF
was designed using Object Oriented Design (OOD) principles
and developed using ASP, XML technology, DHTML, and
VB COM objects.
IVAF provides customers with the following benefits:
- Fault
tolerant and load balancing systems
- Management
reporting
- Rapidly
create new ViewStar applications
- Leverage
web expertise
- Flexible
control of user access to documents
- Increase
throughput and indexing reliability of ViewStar application
- Reduces
programming mistakes
Clients'
will realize the following cost-efficiencies:
-
Enable clients to respond faster to user development
requirements (from months to weeks).
- Immediate
"hard dollar" benefit as clients reduce
the development cost.
- No
additional IT infrastructure required since it integrates
with your exiting infrastructure and is available
as a host service.
- Rapid
implementation in less than 30 days.
