The rich user features of Ideas
for Cities™ web sites are matched by a powerful array of
administrative tools for managing web site users and content.
Our web sites are designed to be managed by multiple
administrators who take responsibility for different
aspects of the site. Administrative privileges may
be assigned to anyone within the entire pool of
users. Each administrator can be assigned the rights
to administer the specific modules and features
for which they are most suitable.
Content Management Tools
Ideas for Cities web sites make it easy for administrators
to keep web site content fresh and up-to-date. Adding or updating content
is as easy as filling out a form. New content automatically displays on the
appropriate
pages of your web site in the size, style and color that is consistent with
your organizational identity. Site-wide navigation can be easily updated
and changed by site administrators in order to draw attention to both on-site
and
off-site content resources.
Underlying our content management system is a document management system for
all your downloadable and displayable documents and images. Documents can be
easily date-stamped, sorted, annotated, categorized and updated.
Ideas for Cities allows for up to 10 content access levels and an unlimited
number of departments or "groups." So, in addition to public content,
your web site can include content that is restricted to city staff, specific
departments, or committees and commissions, making it ideal for intranet or
extranet implementations.
E-Commerce Tools
Ideas for Cities includes an integrated set of e-commerce
tools. Event registration, bill payments, and other transactions all share the
same easy-to-use secure checkout and order retrieval system.
Communication Tools
We provide a variety of tools that make communication with the public easier
to manage. Incoming questions and comments can be automatically routed to
the appropriate staff member or department. Administrators can send e-mail
newsletters to selected site users based on their interests or group affiliation.
