Reducing Click Counts for WebCenter Sites Users

image

Click-iddy Click Click Click

The usability of a system can and will effect the level of satisfcation that users feel when working with it. This will impact the initial adoption of a new system injected into a workplace as well as the overall satisfaction with it over time. In the case of WebCenter Sites, as an Adminstrator, it is to your advantage to reduce click counts during content authoring and system use thus keeping contributors working efficiently. This goes a long way towards staving off resentment and the feeling of being "stuck" with a system.

Rallying the Troops: Getting Your Team Ready for WebCenter Sites

image

Making the decision to migrate your platform over to WebCenter Sites is a big decision. It takes a great deal of research, planning, and time to ensure a smooth transition. Often times Web Experience Management teams, like ours at Function1, are brought in during these transition times to provide the expertise, experience, and skill necessary to customize the platform to the organization's needs. As the project nears the point of hand-off, clients are faced with a new challenge: Utilizing and Managing WCS on their own.

Back Door to Modify an Out-of-the-Box Element When You Only Have Access to the UI

image

Quite often you need to modify an out-of-the-box element in Oracle WebCenter Sites to either make a change or add some debug code.  Also just as often we don't actually have the access we need to modify said element because it is a simple Element Catalog element and we only have access to the UI.

Do not fret, there is a little trick you can use to gain access to the element for modification.  Simply wrap it with a CSElement.  

If you create a CSElement and give it the full name of the element you are trying to modify it will magically hook up to the actual code.

Cutting Risk in Half with Multi-Factor Authentication

image

We rely on usernames and passwords to access various systems throughout the technology world - from laptops to bank accounts, from cloud storage to blogs - our accounts are protected by these authentication mechanisms. It is easy to forget the importance of these account credentials, until it is too late - if a username and password are breached, an unauthorized user can erase, view, and copy highly sensitive data.

Stop Press: Publishing Stopped With NullPointerException

image

“Stop Press” or “Stop The Presses” is a term used in the print media industry, it is used when the need to change content arises during or just before or during printing to stop the printing press. This unfortunately places publishing of all content on hold until it is resolved. With the digital media age, this term has somewhat become obsolete as more and more content is consumed, published and delivered digitally typically through Content Management Systems such as Oracle’s WebCenter Sites.
