The regular wiki platform is designed to work only on textual information. Unlike her, as well as from hundreds of other wiki engines , the JotSpot 2.0 platform makes it possible to jointly edit online spreadsheets, file vaults, calendars, photo galleries and documents of other formats. The proprietary engine supports many functions that are not available in the current version of the standard wiki, for example, the ability to send an email to the address of any page in a wiki project or automatic indexing of Word and Excel documents attached to the project.
Another distinctive feature of JotSpot is its more user-friendly interface, which attracts many buyers from commercial companies to this platform, who are also traditionally afraid to use open source software, such as wiki. Actually, JotSpot was originally designed specifically for use in corporate networks.
The first version of the JotSpot platform managed to prove itself perfectly. Among the customers there are more than two thousand companies, including such large corporations as eBay, Intel, Symantec and others. JogSpot 2.0 Volume License for an unlimited number of users with projects of any size costs $ 200 per month.
So what's new in JotSpot 2.0?
1. Document templates. Now users can quickly and easily create collaborative web projects: spreadsheets, calendars, etc. Spreadsheets are now the standard page type, they support the traditional functionality of desktop applications: formulas, copy and paste functions, selecting a group of cells with the Shift key pressed.
2. Control over the appearance. Users can specify a color scheme for their web project and add logos, and you don’t need to know HTML or CSS.
3. The new system of linking greatly facilitates the process of placing web links to pages within the project and beyond. This is one of several usability improvements. Another improvement of this kind is a Microsoft Outlook-style sidebar with all available wiki applications.
4. A powerful system of distribution of rights gives complete control over who can access to view and / or edit individual parts of the project.
