Alfresco document management features now available for Jive users.
Alfstore is proud to announce the release of a new Widget to integrate Alfresco DM with the Jive Engage Platform.
{See the Widget demo}
This Jive Widget exposes the content of the Alfresco repository in a tree-view way. It provides all in-line editing features for documents and folders.

The user can then easily access to his/her documents, through the Jive interface, using an ajax-style view. Only the common document management operations are exposed, to make the interface as simple as possible:
Actions on documents:
- Create (upload), Update, Delete,
- Edit : from the Jive interface, the user can edit and save a document directly into Alfresco (using the CIFS or the WebDAV protocols),
- Send link by email,
- Copy link into clipboard: this allow the user to reuse the Alfresco URL to start collaborating around the document, using the Jive social and collaborative features.
Actions on folders:
- Create, Delete, Refresh, Rename.
Search feature:
- The user can also search Alfresco documents using a google like search box, directly from the Jive Widget interface.
This component offers a very simplified view of the Alfresco document repository, and it can really be used as easily as a windows explorer.
The Widget layout is light and small so it can be integrated on a multi-column page with others Jive widgets.
As any other Widget component, it can be included in the Jive Dashboard (either the global Dahsboard, but also in Groups, Project and Spaces context, etc), using the Widget Drag & Drop Wizard.
