You no longer have to explicitly check out a document before editing it. Instead, you can open the document, make changes to it, then decide whether to check it in. If you decide not to check it in, the underlying checkout is undone. This applies to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents.
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) is a maintenance release which offers the following new features and enhancements compared to version 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.4).
Note:
The availability of the new features in this list depends on the version of the Desktop, folder and core components installed on Oracle WebCenter Content Server.
Rebranding to Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop
Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite (Oracle ECM) is now part of the Oracle WebCenter product stack to provide the most complete, open, and unified enterprise content management platform. The desktop integration software and documentation have been rebranded accordingly.
Oracle WebCenter Content Server's Quick Search Integration into Windows Explorer
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) offers integration of Oracle WebCenter Content Server's Quick Search feature into Windows Explorer, which allows you to quickly search for content on an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance. For more information, see Section 3.9, "Quick Search Integration" and Section 10.3, "Searching for Content Files."
Oracle WebCenter Content Search Engine Plug-in for Web Browsers
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) provides search engine plug-ins for Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome, which allow you to perform quick searches on an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance directly from the web browser search bar without having to go through the content server's web interface. For more information, see Chapter 6, "Integration into Web Browsers."
Improvements in Windows 7 and Windows Vista Explorer Integrations
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) uses the native shell view in Windows 7 and Windows Vista rather than the proprietary shell view used in previous releases. This optimizes the end-user experience, allowing for such things as improved use of the preview and details panes, high-resolution overlays for large file icons, and the like.
New Integration Hierarchy Structure
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) introduces a new integration hierarchy structure for Oracle WebCenter Content Server instances, which more closely resembles the web interface than previous releases. The top-level nodes now include My Content Server, New Check-In, and Browse Content. See Section 8.4, "Oracle WebCenter Content Server Repositories."
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) adds the defined content profiles on an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance to the integration hierarchy, which provides a way for users to contribute content to a server in Windows Explorer without using a folders tree.
Improved Viewing and Copying of Locally Cached Files vs. Files on Servers
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) improves the way you can view and copy files that are checked out or available offline. In previous releases, it would always be the server copy of a file that was viewed or copied even if a locally cached version was available (for example, a managed Office document that was edited, but not yet checked back in to the server). In this release, the context menu of managed files in Windows Explorer provides explicit options to open or view the local or server file: View/Copy File From Server vs. View/Copy (from local cache). See Section 10.8, "Viewing Content Files" and Section 10.14, "Copying Content Folders and Files."
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) adds an Offline Files node to an offline content server in the integration hierarchy, which lists all files on that server that are offline, including those that are not in a content folder. Users can interact with these files directly from the list. See Section 14, "Working with Offline Content."
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) improves performance when returning the results of searches.
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) adds support for the Framework Folders content hierarchy component while retaining support for the Folders_g content hierarchy component.
Propagating Selected Metadata Fields
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) allows you to propagate selected metadata fields and values to underlying folders and files on Oracle WebCenter Content Server instances running Framework Folders. In earlier releases, you could only propagate all metadata fields and you had no control over the field values. See Section 10.17, "Propagating Folder Metadata."
Information Bar in Microsoft Office Applications
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) introduces an information bar for managed documents in Microsoft Office application which provides content management details about the document. See Section 11.2, "Opening and Viewing an Existing Managed Document."
Read-only Reminder for Documents in Most-Recently-Used (MRU) List
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) shows a reminder when you open a document from the most-recently-used (MRU) list if that document was opened in read-only mode previously. You can then choose to open it in read-only mode again or in full edit mode.
Checking Out Local Copies of Managed Documents in Microsoft Office Applications
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) allows you to check out local copies of managed documents from within Microsoft Office applications. This saves you from having to close the document and reopen it in full edit mode. See Section 11.4, "Checking Out a Managed Document in View Mode."
Turning Managed Office Documents into Unmanaged Documents
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) allows you to 'unmanage' managed documents in Microsoft Office applications; that is, remove the document properties that associate it with a particular content server. This effectively turns the document into a brand-new, unsaved document that you cannot check back in to the server as a new revision of the original document. See Section 11.10, "Turning a Managed Document into an Unmanaged Document."
Opening a Different Revision of a Managed Office Document
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) makes it easier to open a different revision of a managed Office document than the one that is currently open in the Microsoft Office application. This may be useful if you opened a document that may have newer revisions on the server. See Section 11.5, "Opening a Different Revision of a Managed Document."
Refreshing the Current Managed Document to the Latest Revision on the Server
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) allows you to refresh the current managed document in a Microsoft Office application to show the latest revision from the content server. This may be useful if you opened a document that may have newer revisions on the server. See Section 11.6, "Refreshing a Managed Document."
Inserting Items into Office Documents Using the Context-Sensitive Menu
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) allows you to insert managed content or links to managed content using the context-sensitive (right-click) menu in Microsoft Office applications. You can also still use the WebCenter Content menu or ribbon. For more information, see Section 11.11, "Inserting Managed Content into Office Documents."
Inserting Multiple Items into Office Documents
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) allows you to select multiple content items on an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance at the same time and insert their contents or links to them into Microsoft Office documents. For more information, see Section 11.11, "Inserting Managed Content into Office Documents."
The ability to add comments has also been added to the special close dialog. See Section 4.4, "Close Dialog."
Adding Comments to Office Documents Upon Check-in
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) allows you to add comments to Office documents when checking them in from Microsoft Office applications. For more information, see Section 11.8, "Saving and Checking In an Existing Managed Document."
Simple Closing of Managed Office Documents
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) supports closing managed Office documents in much the same way as unmanaged Office documents ("Do you want to save the changes?"). The default is still the old method using the special close dialog, but simple document closing can be enabled using a configuration setting.
Undoing the Check-Out of Unchanged, Managed Office Documents
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) allows you to cancel the checked-out status of the managed document currently open in a Microsoft Office application if you close that document and no changes were made since you opened it (and checked it out).
Attaching Multiple Content Items to E-mail Messages
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) allows you to select multiple content items on an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance and attach them all to an e-mail at the same time. For more information, see Section 12.7, "Attaching Content Files on a Server to E-Mail."
Showing Only Published Content on Oracle WebCenter Content
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) allows you to show only content on Oracle WebCenter Content in the integration hierarchy that has been released. This hides content items that are currently in a workflow, are being converted or indexed, or have a future release date. For more information, see Section 10.18, "Showing or Hiding Unpublished Content Files."
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) allows you to open files that are checked out or available offline with different applications than their associated applications based on the file extensions. For more information, see Section 10.9, "Opening Content Files."
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) allows current search results and saved queries to be dragged-and-dropped or copied-and-pasted anywhere in the content folders tree to become dynamic query folders. These will always contain the content items on a server that meet the specified criteria, allowing you to create virtual groupings of content. For more information, see Section 10.4, "Working with Saved Search Queries and Query Folders."
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) supports personal folders, which provide quick and convenient access to content items on an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance. For more information, see Section 10.20, "Working with Your Personal Folders."
Changing Folder Locations of Content Items
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) allows you to associate content items with a folder by dragging and dropping them into the target folder, even if they were not associated with any content folder before. You can drag and drop items not only from a content folder, but also from search results lists, query folders, and My Content Server nodes. For more information, see Section 10.15, "Moving Content Folders and Files."
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) offers configuration pages in the Oracle WebCenter Content Server web interface that enable system administrators to define how e-mail header fields are mapped to Content Server metadata fields. In previous releases these configuration pages were available only if Oracle WebCenter Content: Records was installed on the server, but this is no longer required. For more information, see Managing Oracle WebCenter Content.
Component Configuration pages on Oracle WebCenter Content Server
Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) offers configuration pages in the Oracle WebCenter Content Server web interface that enable system administrators to set configuration options for the DesktopIntegrationSuite, DesktopTag, and EmailMetadata components.
