Sostenuto Product Features
Sostenuto provides a
wealth of features that enable consultants to model an application
and its 'business services' to fit the processes and information
flows required by their clients.
Service
Manager defines the way the system will behave
for each service according to the client’s processes,
from the look and feel of the screens to the workflow which
controls navigation from one screen to the next, through fields,
operations, states, lifecycles and business rules.
Screen
Designer allows configuration of screens using
drag-and-drop technology to position grids, fields, buttons
and controls whether screens are displayed as full screens
or pop-up screens.
Screen
Workflow Engine provides for the configuration
of screen navigation, controlling which screens are presented
to users and when. The engine incorporates an Expression Builder
to provide conditional logic defining under which circumstances
a screen is displayed.
Business
Rules Engine enables you to configure your
application to respond to event and programme schedules, so
field updates, operations and notifications can be performed
automatically when a rule is triggered.
Operation
Area Format Designer controls how operations
are presented to end-users, generating menus and sub-menus
that present operations directly or via pop-up windows.
Lifecycle
Designer allows
you to configure which operations will be performed in different
states.
Powerful
Association
functionality enables the management of relationships
between individual services.
Task
Assignment Support enables an organisation
to distribute tasks to system users with task dependencies
if required.
Built-in
Expression Builder supports the creation of
criteria for filter searches, screen workflow and business
rule decision making.
Reports
Configurator allows you to specify the location
of Crystal Reports, enabling end-users to easily invoke reports
from the application you build with Sostenuto. These reports
can be displayed in a separate browser window, output to a
network printer or exported to a range of widely supported
file formats.
Preset
Solutions Designer enables you to configure
an unlimited number of existing solutions for problems that
occur frequently, such as password reset. This means your
customer can set these to auto-populate the relevant fields
and automatically set the request category and priority level.
Filter
Manager defines the fields to be displayed,
the sort order and the filter criteria of records presented
to end-users.
Security
Manager defines field and operational level
security as well as functional and access rights for end-users
via an easy to use but powerful management tool.
Account
Manager administers the creation of new accounts,
new groups, amends passwords, controls account access to services
and the association of screen workflows to link system navigation
to end-user accounts. This enables the varied presentation
of menus according to job role, for instance.
User
Interface Framework enables the generation
of end-user screen features, including a service bar displaying
user-accessible services; an operation area displaying useraccessible
operations, a left-hand navigation area (LNA) that presents
filtered service records in a 'scratch pad' which users can
toggle on/off, a content area that presents ordered information,
a ticker area to display business-rule generated messages,
the logged user-name and current date/time.
Secure
SSL Encryption
for all transactions and secure transmission of data across
the network, ensuring that the data transmitted from the web
browser to the web/application server is fully encrypted,
if required.
Association
Management enables
the management of records associated with the current record
or field, allowing you to view, modifiy or delete associated
information as required.
Definable
Access Points allow you to set up different
URLs for different users or user communities using very flexible
login IDs. Users can log in using the asset or project ID
for example, instead of a user ID, providing added flexibility.
Interface
Manager supports
the integration with third party applications or databases,
such as Knowledge Management
