XStream RapidShare™ Communication & Collaboration

XStream RapidShare™ Features and Benefits (At a Glance...)

• Threaded Discussion Forums - Threaded discussion forums enable any project member to initiate a one-on-one discussion with another member, multiple selected members, or all members of the project. Within each topic-based forum, users can post messages, view messages posted by others, and reply to posted messages. These asynchronous discussions are saved as part of the project and can be accessed by any authorized project member at any time.
• Interactive Chat Sessions - Project members can initiate synchronous text-based chat sessions with other users on demand. Chat sessions are an excellent electronic medium for enabling project members to share information and ideas pertaining to subject matters that are directly or indirectly related to the project. Administrators or users (with appropriate rights) have the capability to create chat rooms where one or more invited internal users or external users may join the chat. Internal users invited for a chat may be notified via animated marquee to join a chat in progress. External users (i.e., any user who is or is not a user of XStream RapidShare) may participate in chatting by receiving a URL that they can use. Each chat session can be saved and made available to other users.
• Electronic Mail Facility - Users may compose, send, receive, and store e-mail messages. Since anyone can send e-mail to the mailbox, it is particularly useful for receiving e-mail from people outside of the project or organization.
• Notifications - Project members may create, post, and view notification messages within a project. Notification messages are useful for informing project members about project changes and enhancements, upcoming meetings and chat sessions, and other types of information.
• Calendar - Each project includes a calendar, which enables users to easily keep track of upcoming events or activities. Events in the calendar can be organized and viewed by day, week, month, or year.
• "Notify Me" Capability - This capability allows project members to keep track of changes occurring within the project. Each user is given the capability and the rights to enable " Notify Me " at the project level or at any node level. A user may choose to be automatically notified (by e-mail) as soon as a change occurs in a selected project component, or he/she may choose to receive a daily summary of all changes made to a selected project component or all changes made to the complete project.
• Notes - Project members can post general notes pertaining to the project.
• Web Links - Project members can create shared links or shortcuts to Web URLs. A link is a shortcut to a web site. It allows you to specify whether a web page referred to by the link should be opened in a new window or not.
• Comments - Project members may add comments to various objects within a project. Comments are user-defined annotations or notes that provide extra details, recommendations, hints, tips, or other general information to any user accessing the project object.
• Recycle Bin - Each project includes a Recycle Bin object, which is a repository for files and other items that have been deleted/removed from the project by authorized members. Items stored in the Recycle Bin may be deleted permanently or restored to their previous locations within the project.
• Cut/Copy/Paste Functionality - XStream RapidShare includes facilities for cutting/copying and pasting files and other objects between folders and between projects.
• Search Capabilities - Project members may use the built-in search engines to search for and locate specific objects/items within the project, including files, folders, calendar events, discussions, e-mails, notifications, etc.
• Archiving Capabilities - The system can automatically store deleted project objects and associated data in an archived location. The archived content may be subsequently restored to the project or permanently removed.
• Project Backup Capability - In XStream RapidShare, an administrator can export the contents of a project for storage in another location. Exporting capability enables the administrator to generate and store a backup copy of the project while the original project still remains in XStream RapidShare and can be accessed and edited as normal. At any time, the exported project can be imported back into XStream RapidShare (either to its original organization or to a different organization).
• Reporting Capabilities - XStream RapidShare enables administrators and users (with appropriate rights) to generate various types of project reports (for tracking account usage, traffic summary, etc.). Reports may be viewed online, printed, and exported to other formats (including Excel).
• Section 508 Compliance - Includes full support for the accessibility requirements specified in Section 508 of the U.S Rehabilitation Act. XStream RapidShare is a 508-compliant technology that may be fully accessed by users with physical disabilities or limited mobility.
• Unicode Support - Includes support for the Unicode character set (for encoding multiple written languages).
• Multi-Language Support - Supports English, French, Danish, and Norwegian (with upcoming support for additional languages).
