Page 7 IBM Software Group WWCM 6. 1 Release Themes Enhancements Customer Benefit Enhance the business user experience § § § Decreases required knowledge of WWCM § Improves “uptake” by content champions § Increases efficiencies Improve the security model § Permission inheritance § New user roles § Additional virtual users Simpler Authoring forms Improved Rich Text Editor Updated dialog boxes Reduced click streams for simple actions Allow developers to § Library manipulation APIs interact with WWCM more § Custom workflow actions effectively § Additional tasks through inline editing § Shorter deployment times § More easily map application permissions to existing business structure § Aligns content creation with existing business processes § Enables developers to easily extend application past what’s out of the box
Page 8 IBM Software Group Simpler Authoring Templates § Easily Hide Fields such as name (useful for "anonymous" content) § Create site areas when content is created with certain template § Re-label the built in fields § Hide the read only path and template information section § Version control can now be set on a template basis
Page 9 IBM Software Group Improvements to Inline Editing § Exposes more “complex” tasks to end users for in context editing § Allows business users to interact with WWCM in multiple ways § Streamlines content creation process by minimizing clicks
Page 10 IBM Software Group Improved Table Support § More control over tables when using the Rich Text Editor 4 Ability to control table headers 4 Add color or styles to alternating rows 4 Utilize styles for table templates to retain consistency across web pages
Page 11 IBM Software Group Enhanced Image control § New image control options for layouts § Improved dialogs for easily finding / adding images § Automatically add images to library as components and grant access control
Page 12 IBM Software Group Custom Workflow Actions § Leverage custom code inside of WWCM workflow § Perform actions outside of what’s currently available § Extreme flexibility with content lifecycle
IBM Software Group Page 13 What is the “Contributor” role enhancement? Contributor Today § Controls which libraries are visible to each authoring group § Must have contributor access to appear in the authoring portlet Contributor access in 6. 1 § The Read access level is being split into two levels: User and Contributor 4 Note the Read access level in 6. 0 is equivalent to Contributor, so we are actually adding a lower level of access (User) 4 Match roles used throughout Portal, i. e. User, Contributor, Editor, and Manager § User role 4 An author who can see but cannot perform any operations § Contributor role 4 An author who can add child items to a parent 4 Can move and copy items, as long as they have “Contributor” access on the parent items as well 13
Page 14 IBM Software Group WCM 6. 1 details continued… § Library management APIs 4 Allows create, copy and delete of libraries through the WCM API § Contextual linking for content links 4 Keeps links between shared content within the context of the current site (i. e. prevents links from navigating the user back to the original source site where the content is being shared from) § Truncation support in WCM tags § Additional Workflow action to save a version

Page 16 IBM Software Group Site Convergence with Web. Sphere Portal § Render WCM managed pages along side standard Portal pages 4 Manages entire page, not just inside of a portlet (leveraging Portal to display the navigation or including rendering the navigation elements) § Integration of Portal Site management with WCM site management 4 Instead of defining Portal pages and then mirroring those as WCM site areas, WCM will just leverage the Portal page hierarchy as the WCM site area hierarchy. § Software as a Service/Hosting Support 4 What this means is that as Portal continues to support scoping of resources into virtual sites, WCM will seamlessly provide scoped authoring services to these virtual sites.
Page 17 IBM Software Group Common Information Architecture § Portal and WWCM can use the same site architecture § Portal will understand where WCM content lives & WCM will understand what portal pages the content exists on § End result will be significantly lower deployment times and easier integration
Page 18 IBM Software Group File. Net Integration (1 of 2) § File. Net component allows business users to browse and link to individual documents § Multiple security options § Document remains in File. Net
Page 19 IBM Software Group File. Net Integration (2 of 2) § Surface ECM content to the Web via WWCM 4 Display lists of documents based on metadata • Apply styles, formatting and selection criteria • Selection criteria using rules. 4 Content retrieved for ECM dynamically, based on what other content is shown on the page § Future goal: Provide editing controls from WCM authoring server 4 i. e. , Launch to create a record right from the context of the web page
