Configuration
Give different users a varying set of functionality and complexity from very simply (no toolbars, treeview or other panes) through to highly functional (multi-window multi-tasking) and everything in between.
All settings that users choose (column displays and widths, dimensions tree-view, filters, cabinet restrictions and so on) are saved so that the user can log in from another machine and will have the same preference choices applied.
Configure every aspect of the user interface as well as building business rules such as dynamic security and folder paths, data dictionaries and taxonomies, numbering, and more. Achieve all this without coding, cutting down the cost and effort of customizations.
