Integrate transactional systems, e-commerce applications, Enterprise Portals and interaction components in your online channel with the right customer experience.

RSS Syndication & Aggregation

An RSS feed allows unlocking data on a website so it can be used by other systems, RSS readers, or even other websites. An example of an RSS feed is a news feeds. Reading web content using an RSS reader saves the Internet user surfing and searching time. Offering an RSS feed is called ‘syndication’ and using an RSS feed is called ‘aggregation’.

Advanced Forms

The advanced forms module makes it possible to put together forms to be used, for example, for surveys, registrations, or inquiries. The focus point of the forms module is maximum flexibility with minimal settings. It should be simple for editors, for example, to put surveys together while developers, with different authorizations, should be able to add more complex constructions – such as the use of XSL.

Forms are constructed from steps taken in a specific order. This order can depend on the values entered. Various validations are possible. There is a wide variety of options to handle the forms: sending data via e-mail and/or saving data in a database, formspecific handling of errors, Thank You acknowledgments, etc. Advanced forms can also be used for specific types of integration (often in combination with the Personalization Rules Toolkit), such as connections with authorization or payment systems and handlings through SOAP.

External Application Integration

Using the External Application Integration, any external web application can be integrated with GX WebManager. The design can be modified to fit in with the respective website design managed in GX WebManager. The application integration module consists of one or more servlet filters, applied one after the other. Servlet filters are a part of the J2EE specification. The result from this pipeline of filters is shown on the page.

Calendars

The Calendars component offers the opportunity to create overviews of future activities/events. These are maintained centrally. Each event is active for a specified period. Using a calendar overview element, an overview of current events can be shown on a page. Each event has a title and a description, and is assigned to one or more categories. When visitors click the title, the detail page of that event is shown.

FAQ

GX WebManager offers Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) that can be maintained centrally. Using the FAQ module, questions and answers can be maintained systematically through categorization. The categories can also be maintained. Once the question-and answer sets are categorized, they can be placed on a page and accessed directly from a selected category. The Search & Retrieve component allows the website visitor to search the FAQs and answers.

E-cards

This functionality allows visitors to send e-cards from the website. The design of the page where the ecards are sent from, as well as the design of the email that the recipient receives, can be adapted to the client’s corporate style.

Polls

Using a Poll, the opinions of visitors can be collected.A multiple-choice question is presented to visitors, and they can check one or several answers. Such a question-and-answer set can be easily put together on a page. It is also possible, using the Rotating Poll functionality, to pose several multiple-choice questions to a website visitor, spread over a period of time. Each question is then shown for a specified period of time.

Discussion & Guestbook

The Discussion, or Forum, functionality allows visitors to respond to statements and questions from other visitors and start new discussions. At any moment of the day, the discussion can be followed on the website and responses can be added. The editor can moderate a discussion before or after comments are posted. This functionality can also be set up as a guestbook, allowing individual comments instead of an interactive discussion. Examples of guestbook’s are petitions and condolence registers.

E-mail Forms

The E-mail Forms component allows GX WebManager website visitors to easily compose and send e-mail in order to request information, submit a résumé, report an error to the website administrator, and so forth. Because e-mail forms are an integrated part of the Content Management System, the correct design is always used. A standard e-mail form consists of two steps: one for the visitor’s input, and one for the Thank You acknowledgment. You can validate the emails in a variety of ways. For more detailed forms, it is recommended that you use the Advanced Forms component.

Queries

Through the use of queries it is possible to display data from a database on a page. A query is a (parameterized) search question posed to a database in a uniquely defined language (SQL or Structured Query Language). The result can then be shown on the website. In GX WebManager, queries are maintained centrally and can be requested with a query element or from a database page.

Element API

GX WebManager comes standard with a large set of functionality which provides an editor with a wide variety of content element options. Content elements are used to fill a page with content such as images, lists and overviews, download, Flash objects, and FAQs. Sometimes a new content element type is needed because of new trends and/or customer-specific needs and demands. The Element API allows a developer to develop a new content element and add it to the platform. This resulting WCB gives an editor the option of adding the desired content to a website.

Service API

A service component offers functionality for supporting other components and is not be visible in the
GX WebManager editorial environment. A service component can, for example, support the access of stored data and/or a connection to an external application for a new module. The service component is the only component that has direct access to the data storage or the external application. Other components, such as a panel or an element, gain access through the service. With the Service API, a service component can be developed and added live.

Form API

GX WebManager offers a powerful forms module for setting up advanced form flows. In a form flow, actions can be taken based on the data entered. Checks can be performed (validators), data can be saved (handlers), and form flow routings can be executed (routers). With the Form API, a form component can be developed. In the form component, one of the three aforementioned actions can be implemented. Once a WCB with a form component is activated, the forms module will be enriched with the new validator, handler, and/or router. The Form API is an extension of the Advanced Forms module.
