Implementing the Save to Topic features

Using Topic Management in Oracle Empirica Signal, an end user can create, display, edit, and move topics through a workflow. Topics can have attachments such as files, graphs, tables, URLs, or notes. Topics can also contain one or more actions which can also have attachments.

A topic workflow configuration contains all attributes of topics. Topics are associated with work teams which are sets of users with permissions to view, edit, or save an attachment to a topic. An Oracle Empirica Signal administrator defines topic workflow configurations and configures work teams and their permissions.

Your proprietary application can use the Oracle Empirica Topics web service to display the Save to Topic link and dialog boxes for a user of your application to attach tables, graphs, or files to topics and/or actions.

The use cases in this chapter describe a sample implementation by Oracle Empirica Signal of the Save to Topic features and associated web services calls. You can integrate with Save to Topics in your user interface in a way that is appropriate for your proprietary application.
