Share one or more projects across the internet with one click and let designers and customers outside your company browse selected sections of your DBWorks database allowing them to:
Files don't need to be uploaded and your collaborators receive an immediate notification by e-mail containing a direct hyperlink to a WebViewer project with the documents you want to share.
The WebViewer is password protected and you can apply SSL to your IIS server to ensure commercial level security.
All the information, including fields values, record vieweing and file download are protected by rights management that is specific to the role and defined directly in DBWorks.
WebViewer has been designed from the ground up to provide a user experience as close as possible to a normal Windows application rather than to a web application.
Not yet another clumsy web interface: a Windows application interface consistent with DBWorks and SolidWorks; one page to control your projects, your documents, your data and not a series of pages you have to load at each operation.
All commands are available in contextual menus, queries and filters can be composed in plain english, enabled/disabled on the fly and return immediate results. The interface provides useful information on downloads directly in the menus, always display quick previews of the documents and warns you when a query would return a massive amount of data before you accept.
The web client is self installing in very few minutes (around 500Kb) and does not require any online registration beside a normal login. Licenses are floating and as soon as the user exits the application or moves to another web page, the license is made available for another user.
The DBWorks Administrator can view a clear online report of people currently connected, licenses currently occupied, files downloaded and, where necessary, can disconnect any user with one click. All main actions are logged on the server.
Server side: Internet Information Server 5, a DBWorks Stand Alone installation, Microsoft Java Virtual Machine
