Features Summary

The following is a brief summary of CommunityServer's key features.

Web-based Application
Since smartVelocity CommunityServer is a Web-based product, there is no software to install; there is no maintenance to worry about. We host CommunityServer at our secure, Tier 1 facility, so you don’t have to install any additional hardware or software at your location. And, because it is Web-based, multiple people can use it from multiple locations — twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Hierarchical Structure
CommunityServer enables you to manage your content using a multi-tier structure. This structure provides you with scalability because, as your organization grows, so too can the structure that you use on your Website.

Document and Event Management
Documents (for example, news stories, contact information, and how to instructions) and events make up the majority of your site, so being able to add, edit and delete those items is critical to managing your Website.

Dual Mode Editing
As an added convenience, and to accommodate people’s preferences, CommunityServer has two ways to access and edit your site’s content. You can either access your content through “fill-in screens” using the administrative side of the product or you can access it through the Website component of the product and use an editing bar that appears on each Web page where there is content that you can edit.

Workflow and Approvals
Part of setting up security levels is identifying who has the authority to approve and “unapprove” content. You have the option of having one person approve all content changes that are made by people within a group or you can give several individuals that authority.

User Management
Create a database of users without purchasing special software to do it. Add and edit user types so that you can use them to specify what Website content you want them to be able to view. Use the export feature to transfer the information in your database to Excel so that you can manipulate and format it.

Statistical Information
If you are a numbers person, you may be interested in seeing statistics about how people are using your site. Select the date or date range of the data that you want to use and click the Generate Report button. It’s that easy!

Version Control
When you first add content to your site and when you change it, CommunityServer automatically creates an ongoing history. All versions of that content, even if it has never been posted on your Website, are kept on file and can be viewed, made the current content on your Website, or deleted when it is no longer needed.

Links to Other Sources
Your site can become even more of a hit if, in addition to providing information about your organization, it also provides links to other valuable sources of information such as your affiliates or background information to claims that you make on your site. This provides convenience and credibility for your users.

Interactive Features for Users
Make your site more interactive for your users by enabling them to participate in topic-specific discussions or respond to a poll — one question and multiple answers from which to choose. If you ever wanted to find out how your users feel about different issues, you can use these features as sources of information.

E‑Newsletters
If you would like to create a newsletter to keep your users informed about news stories and upcoming events, you can have ContentServer automatically create and send an E‑Newsletter for you or you can create one manually.

Search Capabilities
The more content and user information you have, the more difficult it is to find a particular item or a particular user. CommunityServer allows you to search content by keyword and by the first letter of the user’s last name if the user has a last name specified in the database.
