  they may share realms
• Web content authoring and rendering can now
  (6.0.1.2 , released October 2007) be scoped to a
  virtual portal
• Content libraries can be virtually scoped using
  access control content may be specific to a
  virtual portal or shared across virtual portals

WWCM 6.1 Release Themes
Themes Enhancements Customer Benefit
Enhance the business user experience Simpler Authoring forms Improved Rich Text Editor Updated dialog boxes Reduced click streams for simple actions Decreases required knowledge of WWCM Improves uptake by content champions Increases efficiencies
Improve the security model Permission inheritance New user roles Additional virtual users Shorter deployment times More easily map application permissions to existing business structure
Allow developers to interact with WWCM more effectively Library manipulation APIs Custom workflow actions Additional tasks through inline editing Aligns content creation with existing business processes Enables developers to easily extend application past whats out of the box
8
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 beset on a template basis

9
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

10
Improved Table Support

• More control over tables when using the Rich Text
  Editor
• Ability to control table headers
• Add color or styles to alternating rows
• Utilize styles for table templates to retain
  consistency across web pages

11
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

12
Custom Workflow Actions

• Leverage custom code inside of WWCM workflow
• Perform actions outside of whats currently
  available
• Extreme flexibility with content lifecycle

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
• Note the Read access level in 6.0 is equivalent
  to Contributor, so we are actually adding a lower
  level of access (User)
• Match roles used throughout Portal, i.e. User,
  Contributor, Editor, and Manager
• User role
• An author who can see but cannot perform any
  operations
• Contributor role
• An author who can add child items to a parent
• Can move and copy items, as long as they have
  Contributor access on the parent items as well

13
14
WCM 6.1 details continued

• Library management APIs
• Allows create, copy and delete of libraries
  through the WCM API
• Contextual linking for content links
• 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

16
Site Convergence with WebSphere Portal

• Render WCM managed pages along side standard
  Portal pages
• 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
• 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
• 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.

17
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

18
FileNet Integration (1 of 2)

• FileNet component allows business users to browse
  and link to individual documents
• Multiple security options
• Document remains in FileNet

19
FileNet Integration (2 of 2)

• Surface ECM content to the Web via WWCM
• Display lists of documents based on metadata
• Apply styles, formatting and selection criteria
• Selection criteria using rules.
• Content retrieved for ECM dynamically, based on
  what other content is shown on the page
• Future goal Provide editing controls from WCM
  authoring server
• i.e., Launch to create a record right from the
  context of the web page
