Features List
The following list outlines many of the features of the
Intranet. If you’d like to know about any of these in
more detail or if you have questions about other features of
the silverorange Intranet, please feel free to
contact us.
-
Easy to Use Interface
The silverorange Intranet is designed around the user
experience. A combination of features users need for
everyday communication and an interface designed for
quickly and easily accessing information make the intranet
both powerful and simple.
-
Standards Compliant - The Intranet
follows common web conventions (such as blue
underlined links) so that there is a short learning
curve. Coding is also generally compliant with
W3C standards.
-
Speed - Speed is important for
effective communication. The Intranet is optimized for
fast performance whether you’re accessing it
through a modem or over a LAN.
-
Browser and Operating System Support
- Because the Intranet is entirely web-based, it can
be accessed from any system and from any web browser.
-
Security
The Intranet uses industry standard SSL encryption to
ensure your information and communications are secure. The
secure user-level access also enforces strict internal
security so people can only access information they have
permission to access.
-
Projects and Folders
Content on the intranet is divided into projects. Projects
are used for organizational purposes and for securing
information. Each user can belong to several projects and
can only access information in those projects. Each
project can contain folders for further sorting
information.
-
Project Membership Options
Users can be assigned project membership options by an
administrator. Most users only have normal access, meaning
they can make and edit their own posts. Power users can be
given editorial content editing access, stealth access, or
access to add new folders to a project.
-
Item Types
There are several different types of items on the
Intranet. All types of items can contain file attachments.
Users can post:
-
Messages - The general all-purpose
post that contains a text message.
-
Tasks - A task can be assigned to a
single user or a group of users. The priority, due
date, and progress of a task can all be set and
tracked.
-
Events - An event can be announced on
the Intranet with dates and who should attend
specified.
-
Work Reports - Employees can post
work reports specifying what work was completed and
the time used.
-
Checklists - Checklists can be
created to list tasks that require completion.
Completed and incomplete tasks can easily be tracked.
-
News - News articles, accompanied by
a photo, can be posted with corporate, organizational,
or departmental news to keep everyone informed.
-
Files - Files such as documents,
images, movies, and templates can be posted for
universal access and archiving.
-
Custom Item Types - If your
organization uses a specific type of report or
communication, please
contact us to
see if we can develop a custom item type for your use.
-
File Attachments
Every item type can contain file attachments similar to
email attachments. Easily share files with coworkers and
post documents, graphics, presentations, and other files
for review. Most common file types have matching icons for
quick recognition.
-
Replies and Threaded Discussion
All item types can become the start of a threaded
discussion. By replying to a post, a thread is started so
that it is easy for all users to follow the conversation.
New threads can also be started within an existing thread
to branch off with new ideas.
-
Searching
The intranet has a powerful and flexible search tool for
finding information. Users can narrow their search by
project, date posted, user, and other criteria to easily
find the information they’re looking for.
-
Alerts and Notifications
A flexible Alerts and Notifications system allows users to
determine the handling of posts. Users can choose to have
email, instant messaging, or SMS alerts for specific types
of posts, posts by certain users, posts with high
priority, etc.
-
User Preferences
Users can personalize many of the aspects of the Intranet.
Contact information can be added, numbers of alerts can be
adjusted, the way items are viewed can be altered, and
numerous other settings are available.
-
User Photos
Users can add their own portrait to the intranet using a
simple image uploading and cropping tool. These photos add
an important ‘personal’ quality to the
communication on the intranet.
-
Article Publishing System
For organizations that require it, the Intranet has a
powerful articles system for publishing content. This
system allows an organization to post information such as
corporate documents, human resources information, and
employee benefits information in one centralized location.
-
Internationalization
The intranet is designed to function well for
organizations spread across a diverse area.
-
Time Zones - Users can specify their
local time zone. When they make a post, users from
other time zones can see what time the post was made,
both in their time and the poster’s time. This
is important for coordinating work across different
time zones.
-
Languages - Currently the
silverorange Intranet is available in English, French,
and Dutch. Each user can specify his or her own
language for use. Please
contact us if you’re
interested in having the intranet be made available in
another language.
-
Management Tools
The Intranet is designed to be self-administered by
managers in your organization. A powerful user hierarchy
system allows a master manager to enable other
administrators with specific permissions. At different
levels, managers have the ability to add new users, define
access levels, specify users’ access levels, create
new organizations, create new projects, make new folders,
and complete other management functions. Most management
tools are located in context to make them intuitive for
administrators to use.
-
Modular Design
Many components of the Intranet are modular, so you can
pick and choose the combination that best suits your
organization. If you don’t require Work Reports, for
instance, they can be seamlessly removed.
