SDK
(Software Development Kit)
Suppose
companies have customized database application, ERP
application, intranet, or any other legacy systems,
eBdesk SDK can retrieve information from those sources
and deliver as portal channels. eBdesk Portal Builder
will register these channels and delivers to users
according to their roles.
DB
Connectors
DB
Connectors allows developer to create connections
to any supported databases. By then, developers can
use the connection to create forms, reports, graphs
with eBdesk SDK. Supported RDBMS with native connection
are Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2,
MySQL, Postgress, whether other databases are supported
via ODBC or middle ware application.
Form
Builder
Form
Builder allows developer to create flexible forms
with intuitive and easy to use drag and drop facility.
It provides many types of forms that can be used as
independent portal channel (leave form, address change,
confirmation, etc) as well as in workflow application.
Report
Builder
Report
Builder is a very useful tool to publish channels
in portal builder, since most channels are report
type. Developer can create flexible reports with intuitive
and easy to use interface. eBdesk Report Builder can
use any supported databases provided by DB Connectors.
Graph
Builder
Graph
is similar with report but it gives users interesting
presentation of data in their portal. It gives options
to choose any types of graph such as bar, column,
line, pie, XY, area, 3D version, etc.
Clipper
Engine
Allows
developer or user to clip any contents from internet
and intranet, and publish as portal channels. Basically,
any kind of published information can be clipped such
as news, event, weather info, search, or report on
intranet, and these will be put on local server. By
then, all users will be able to
access to local database with slightly faster
response, and companies can cut their internet cost
since clipping can be scheduled in specific periods.
Workflow
Engine
Workflow
is powerful engine to create dynamic business process
since a rigid system can be a big challenge for companies
in this ever-changing world. Developers can use eBdesk
Workflow Engine to create any business processes that
usually consist of decision making or approval. Developers
can use predefined eBdesk's forms,
reports and graphs whenever build a workflow.
API
(Application Programming Interface)
API
provides a set of library to be used by developers
to enhance their eBdesk portal with lower level tools.
Developers can use API for :
Developing
new eBdesk portal
channels.
Integrating
with third party corporate or legacy applications.
Enhancing
standard eBdesk applications, including any results
of SDK.
Provide
flexibility to enhance user interface.
