The Perfect Wiki and Blog Hybrid







Traction TeamPage offers the ability to easily add pages to project spaces and edit them, provided you have permissions. There are facilities for edit history and roll-back. The native organization is chronological, but Sections display the content in whichever way is appropriate. Some groups need a chronological work log while others need to divide the page into alphabetically listed project requirements and chronologically listed open issues. Traction provides just the flexibility you need to keep readers and project participants engaged and on-task.




 





Document Management








The Traction platform implements WebDAV, the standard for over-the-web document management. You can attach documents to pages and comments, or post them into project share folders. The WebDAV implementation supports versioning, check-out, locking, and check-in.
Rich media files such as Quick Time and Flash movies as well as PDFs can be attached and displayed in-line with content you publish in pages. You can also transclude content like Google Maps and Weather forecasts within your pages.





 





Threaded Discussion








Traction has by far and away the best features for threaded discussions. Simply click any paragraph to start a discussion in context. You can stack comments or nest them, so you can comment on a comment, branching the discussion in a natural way.





 





Knowledge Management








Blogs and wikis have changed the face of knowledge management. Traction TeamPage provides a full Enterprise 2.0 solution, right out of the box. Besides being able to post and pages with links, Traction projects all have labels (or tags) which can be used to organize the content. You can use any label from any project on any page, providing an infrastructure for social tagging. Traction delivers dynamic views, so you can easily navigate to or get RSS feeds of any slice of content.
As you use the content (comment on it, email it out, write direct links), the content becomes more and more meta-data rich and the knowledge management value increases.
 
Search
The default search provides for Boolean search and is permission filtered. Our Traction TeamPage FAST Search Module offers the best enterprise search features available, including support for over 370 file formats, entity extraction and dynamic drill down navigation.
