Description:

Author-e is an expert in advanced document creation tooling.

  • The Author-e tool allows the collaborative writing of documents by literary unlimited numbers of users without performance penalties. 
  • Thanks to the fine granularity of rights and roles settings within the document the owner is continuously in control. 
  • The full tracking of the modifications - with a restore option – improves the controllability. 
  • The metadata module allows fine granularity tagging of content, used for searching, versioning, and filtered publishing. 
  • Documents and (sub)chapters can be embedded in other documents, allowing centralized control of content. 
  • Users can create notes within the document, react to it, share it with other users by mail with a deep link, and apply status with due dates to notes. 
  • The workflow module enables more advanced processes of multiple users within multiple documents.

  • Images and other assets are stored within the embedded DMS, and show the usage and location of each asset in Author-e documents. 
  • An API allows for external control of the above functionality.

What is offered: 

Within the Change2Twin project Author-e and Cordis are offering both tools in a combined solution. Within the Cordis SUITE users will create low-code models that initial are run within a Digital Twin setting, and eventually will run real industrial processes. When creating those low-code models, the user can enrich the graphical models with descriptions, and create by a single click the according design documentation. Every version of a low-code model stays in sync with the documentation content. Mutations between documentation versions are rendered in a changes document, which will be supportive to the life cycle management.
