Access control is a combination of permissions and exclusions.
Association
The link of a content item to a CRM Object. For example, the link of a feature article to a particular product is an association.
Attachment
An attachment is part of the cover letter. It is similar to e-mail attachments. In the case of fax and print channels, the attachments are physically faxed or printed. Attachments can include data sheets, white papers, analyst reports, press releases, and so on.
Attribute
Attributes are individual components of a content type. An attribute is of data type varchar, date, number, or HTML. For example, for the Feature Article content type, Title is an attribute of the varchar data type.
Bulk Upload
The Bulk Upload is a feature in OCM that allows you to upload a zip file to create many content items at once. The contents of the zip file are extracted to create content items in the folders.
Category
A category is a specifically defined classification, which is used to logically group a set of content items together. While folders are work areas to organize content items, categories reflect more of a business group. Categories also have a hierarchy of subcategories for finer classification. You can browse the library based on the categories.
Collateral Content
Collateral can be defined as electronic marketing materials that are fulfilled to the target customers through automated processes such as print, fax, and so on. The automated processes of fulfillment can be through the channels of e-mail, fax, print, or Web channels. Collaterals are always outbound and the intended recipients are the target audience. Collateral consists of cover letters or attachments.
Compound Content Item
A compound content item is based on a compound content type. You can add content sub-items to make a compound content item. However, the sub-items can only be of the type defined in the compound content type.
Compound Content Types
A content type can have other content types as its components. Such content types are called compound content types. For example, a Product Brochure content type can have other content types such as Product Presentation, Product White paper, and Product Demo as its components. This makes Product Brochure a compound content type.
Content
A content is a structured data that is managed through a lifecycle to create, approve, translate, and publish. It can be anything from a text field to an image, audio, or a video file.
Content Item
A content item is a data of a certain Content Type. For example, if a feature article is a content type, then the specific article titled "Selecting the Right DB for your Company" is the content item.
Content Type
A content type is a logical set of attributes, attachments, and associations. Examples of content types: a Feature Article, Product info, Help File. They ensure that the data is consistent across the content items. Content Types are not to be confused with file types such as "file", "URL", "PPT", and so on. They are instead defined as types like "images", "white papers", or "sales presentation".
Content Type Group
A Content Type Group is a collection of content types. Content type groups are used to bundle a set of content types together.
Content Type Template
A content type template is used to predefine a structure for a cover letter in Oracle Marketing. Though the content type is defined in OCM, marketers create structures based on the parent content type structure and map it to activities or schedules.
Cover Letter
A cover letter can be defined as the initial document received by the consumer.
Current Folder
The current folder displays the details of the present folder and the folders you have navigated to reach the present folder.
E-Business Suite Objects
Objects that are not maintained by Oracle Content Manager. For example, an Inventory Item is an e-Business Suite Object maintained by ERP. A Campaign is an e-Business Suite object maintained by OMO.
Exclusions
Some people belonging to a Group, User, or Global can be denied to access a folder or a category.
File Attachment
The binary "file" that is part of a content item.
Folder
A folder is the area a person has access to, in order to manage (add, edit, remove, archive) content items. A person can only view folders and sub-folders that they permissions to access.
Home Folder
The Home Folder is the folder that appears when you navigate to the My Content tab. By setting a Home Folder, you can directly navigate to a folder that you use extensively. You can set any folder that you have access to as your Home Folder and choose to change it anytime.
Library
A library is a repository of content items that are live and approved, and published to the categories.
Live Version
The live version of a content item is the version that is recommended for use. It is an approved version that is recommended for usage. Modifications in the live version will impact all objects that refer to the live version. Live versions are setup in OCM.
Permissions
To perform the required action, a user needs to have the assigned permission. Permissions are assigned by OCM Super User mostly to access a folder or a category. Permissions are granted to Users, Group, Responsibility, and Global.
Renditions
Renditions provide the ability to upload the same content in many formats such as pdf, doc, and rtf. Renditions are primarily identified (auto detected), based on the multipurpose internet mail extensions (mime) type when files are uploaded.
Seeded Content Items
OCM provides some seeded style sheets. The seeded stylesheets cannot be modified.
Seeded Content Types
OCM provides some seeded Content Types on installation. These Content Types cannot be modified. A user can however duplicate these Content Types and modify the duplicates.
Stylesheets
Stylesheets are associated with Content Types. Style sheets tell the rendering engines how to display the content item to the calling application. Each Content Type may have many style sheets associated to it. Stylesheets are their own Content Types and individual Style sheets are stored in the repository like any other Content Item.
Subitems
Subitems are individual content items based on their corresponding content types. Examples: Product Image, Product Thumbnail Image, Product Demo, and Technical Specifications.
Translation
Every content item is created in a base language, and later translated. OCM can store multiple translations of a content item. Each translation is associated with its base language item. New versions for the content item can be created only in the base language.
Versioning
You can update an item by modifying an existing version or creating a new one. Each version may have the status of In Progress, Submitted, or Approved. OCM allows multiple approved versions to co-exist, but only one version can be set as the live version.
Workflow
OCM uses Oracle Workflow to notify users. Notifications are sent to alert users of content items that require approval, items that have been approved, or items that require translation.
