COMPAQ Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: Compaq TeamRoute V1.3A for ALL-IN-1 V3.2 SPD: 33.75.04 DESCRIPTION Compaq[TM]TeamRoute V1.3A for ALL-IN-1[TM]V3.2 is an electronic doc- ument initiation, routing, approval, and tracking system. It works be- tween members of an organisation distributed across wide-area and/or local-area networks. It is designed to accommodate the primary attributes of paper-based document processing systems with the added flexibil- ity, security, and efficiency common to electronic processing systems. The design considers the diverse and ever-changing needs of an orga- nization's administrative systems. This version, V1.3A, of TeamRoute for ALL-IN-1 V3.2 is the only ver- sion that is Year 2000 Ready and as such supersedes earlier versions of TeamRoute on prior versions of ALL-IN-1. Compaq TeamRoute uses the master routing package as the model for gath- ering, disseminating, processing, and presenting information. It al- lows an end user to select a template from a library of templates, cre- ate a new routing package from that template, specify the routing list, enter information into applicable fields, attach any relevant infor- mation, and route the master routing package and any attachments to users or other applications for processing and/or approval/disapproval. Compaq TeamRoute supports interaction among a heterogeneous group of clients and among multiple server domains. Microsoft[R] Windows[R] clients are supported using the TeamLinks V3.0 client software (SPD 55.49). Video Terminals (VTs) are supported by the TeamRoute ALL-IN-1 client hosted by ALL-IN-1. The TeamRoute for ALL-IN-1 V1.3A client requires ALL-IN-1 Version 3.2 OpenVMS Alpha or VAX product. October, 1999 AE-PKNRD-TK Compaq TeamRoute V1.3A for ALL-IN-1 V3.2 SPD: 33.75.04 Compaq TeamRoute is accessible as a separate subsystem of ALL-IN-1. Routing packages are received, filed, and organized in a separate in- box within the user's File Cabinet. The VT user chooses TeamRoute from the ALL-IN-1 main menu to enter the system. TeamLinks users gain ac- cess by a button on the button bar or via the TeamRoute icon. Team- Route uses ALL-IN-1 nicknames. TeamRoute allows routing of documents within departmental local-area networks, and across wide-area, store-and-forward networks by utiliz- ing a variety of messaging backbones such as Compaq's MAILbus[TM] 400 and Message Router products or Innosoft's PMDF[R]. Features o API A public Application Programming Interface (API), which allows users to create linkages with new and existing applications, is documented in the TeamRoute Programming Guide. o Templates Master routing packages are produced from modifiable templates. Mod- ifiable temlates and routing package ownership allows users to stip- ulate routing policies and receipt actions for a master routing pack- age. o Sample Applications TeamRoute provides several sample applications in the form of pre-defined templates. These sample applications demonstrate the capabilities of TeamRoute and can be used by users with or without modifications. The sample applications include: Action Item, Document Review, Read and Acknowledge, Telephone Call Slip, Account Request, Meeting Notice, Ask a Question, and Travel Request. o Routing Packages A routing package is the object that is created by the initiator and routed to recipients. It is created by selecting a template and fill- ing out the routing list, adding attachments, and signing it. The rout- ing package at this point becomes the "Master" and is stored in the 2 Compaq TeamRoute V1.3A for ALL-IN-1 V3.2 SPD: 33.75.04 initiator's File Cabinet on the server. Routing copies are sent to re- cipients who can add attachments or modify the routing list of the mas- ter copy. Recipients can save their copies in their own personal File Cabinets. The master gets updated throughout the lifecycle of the rout- ing package. o User Roles and Policies During the lifecycle of a routing package, all participants play one or more specified roles. For example, a user may be an approver at one step and a carbon copy (cc:) recipient at another step. Roles are as- signed by the routing package initiator or template designer. Roles are defined by a set of rights (what a user can do), requirements (what a user must do), and optionally, the name of an application to invoke. o Routing Package Tracking Tracking can be requested for any routing package stored in a user's File Cabinet. When tracking is requested, the Server sends a new car- bon copy of the master in its current state. A routing package's history is used to monitor its progress. The events logged in the routing package history include: when signatures are ap- plied, if the application was run, when copies were sent, and when up- dates were applied. o Routing Routing is defined by a routing list. The Server sends routing pack- ages according to the position of the recipients in the routing list. It updates the master when it receives a revised copy from a recip- ient, and then sends a new copy to the next recipient on the list. The routing list is created by the routing package initiator or the tem- plate designer. However, the path a routing package takes during its lifecycle may differ from the one specified in the original routing list because someone along the way may modify it. Serial and carbon- copy parallel routing are both available. o Attachments 3 Compaq TeamRoute V1.3A for ALL-IN-1 V3.2 SPD: 33.75.04 An attachment is any additional file or document that is routed with the master routing package. When a file or document is attached, the server marks that attachment with the name of the user adding the at- tachment, an attachment ID, the date and time of addition, a user- pro- vided subject label, attachment, data type, and file name. The date and time of addition is the local date and time. o Signatures Signatures is a password-protected function that indicates approval, disapproval, or acknowledgment of a routing package. If an attachment is subsequently removed or a key field value altered, the signature becomes invalid. When users sign a routing package, TeamRoute adds their name, the date and time, any added remarks, and the approval action. Recipients viewing signatures are shown whether the signature remains valid. o Help Users can get help for TeamRoute by using the Help facility. Help pro- vides basic information on how to perform the function in question with- out the user having to reference the documentation. o Printing TeamRoute takes advantage of the printing facilities provided by the underlying ALL-IN-1 system. The user can specify the printer desti- nation and options. o Editing TeamRoute allows the VT user to specify their editor of choice sup- ported by ALL-IN-1 Electronic Mail. TeamLinks users may specify their wordprocessor of choice from those installed on their PC. o System Management TeamRoute for ALL-IN-1 provides a separate management utility. Invok- ing these utilities allows cluster- wide system management operations to be managed centrally. 4 Compaq TeamRoute V1.3A for ALL-IN-1 V3.2 SPD: 33.75.04 There are no special utilities to run for File Cabinet maintenance. One or all user areas on the Server can be backed up or restored us- ing standard OpenVMS utilities. o Documentation Documentation of the installation, system management, programming, and user procedures is included with the individual kits.
