Screen Tours

Want to help new people to quickly come up to speed with your web application? Just tag elements of the screen and add description for each tag. The users simply point to a tag and the system shows them the description of what it is for. What can be easier?

Screen Tours are supported for forms, queries and visual perspectives.

In-place document editing

Aware IM lets the users store any kind of documents including common office documents like Word or Excel. If the users want to edit documents they have to open them in the respective office application – as long as it is available on their computer. But what if it isn’t?

Aware IM 5.8 offers the option of editing documents in-place using powerful web-based Zoho editors (www.zoho.com) to edit many types of documents such as Word, Excel, Power Point, Open Office, RTF, HTML etc. Better still, when the user clicks the Save button, the modified document is automatically saved in Aware IM. No need to re-upload a local copy of the document.

REST-ful services

Aware IM services can now be exposed not only as SOAP-based web services but also as REST-ful services. This makes it a lot easier for other applications to integrate with Aware IM by consuming web services that Aware IM can automatically expose for nominated processes.

Other improvements

Last – but not least – an impressive array of other improvements that include:

  • Aware IM no longer includes JBoss. Applications are now faster and more reliable.
