Intuitive XML authoring tool

Author structured content

ContentBase features the Fonto Editor, an intuitive XML authoring suite that allows non-technical users to author/edit structured content without knowledge of XML tagging.

Fonto Editor gives users the ability to author and edit new and existing XML-based content while leveraging the editorial workflow capabilities already available in the ContentBase platform. Wrycan is currently offering DITA authoring capabilities and will soon announce configurations for JATS and STS formats.

Fonto Editor can be configured to work with virtually any XML schema, making it a powerful addition to the ContentBase platform.

Organize your editorial resources

A personal inbox lets users keep tabs on any work assigned to them. The inbox shows the user:

  • The content currently assigned to me
  • What tasks need to be completed
  • The available actions for each assigned task
  • How long since the task was assigned to the user
  • What previews are available to review assigned content (PDF, HTML, others)

The inbox also lets users see duties assigned to a group of users, such as a group of proofreaders whose job it is to review all book content.

Keep track of what everyone is working on

See the big picture

ContentBase dashboards show users relevant content information and metadata at a glance. Quickly see what content work in progress, who is working on it and how long content has been in a workflow.

Dashboards are configurable for each different type of content so that users see the most crucial information.

Need a custom dashboard to ensure that users see everything about a specific content type? Dashboards are easy to build using ContentBase APIs.

Take control of your editorial process

ContentBase workflows put you in charge of the change management processes around your content.

  • Use a workflow to give you fine grain control over how you manage which users author and edit content.
  • Assign a workflow to enforce a strict edit, review and approval process.
  • Set up a group ballot to allow a collection of users, such as an advisory group, to review and cast a vote on a set of changes.
  • Use a workflow to manage the prioritization of user-submitted change requests.
  • Set up automated workflow actions to ensure such tasks as periodic reviews are performed on schedule, keeping content compliant.

See how content has been changed

ContentBase editor’s review mode features a "track-changes" view which shows a change history and allows users to accept or decline any and all changes.

ContentBase repository saves a new version after any change to a content asset. If you cancel a workflow, changes are rolled back automatically to ensure you do not lose the content you started with.
