Nuxeo EP is Nuxeo's new Java-based open source ECM solution, based on the Nuxeo ECM platform. It provides a similar set of ECM functions as CPS (the previous, Zope-based, ECM platform developed by Nuxeo), such as the content creation, the status history and versioning. But Nuxeo EP also integrates new features, such as:
the domains, a new level above workspaces and sections, that makes it possible to make your site organization more accurate;
relations between the documents;
life cycle and associated workflows.
Documents are created in workspaces, in which users can make them evolve through collaborative work. When they are ready for distribution, documents are published in sections. Both workspaces and sections are grouped in domains, that you create to meet your own criteria.
Permission to access the available documents and actions are determined by access rights. Some users can modify the documents and submit them to review, when other users can only read the workspace's content.
Through modifications, the documents evolve. Content management workflows are used to approve the evolution of documents. All the modifications and workflows constitute the document's life cycle. Users can see the workflows they participate to in their dashboard.
All actions are transparent to users, who see the copied documents in their clipboard, as well as the documents they reserve in their worklist.
This guide presents how to use the default functionalities of Nuxeo EP and helps you get comfortable with the application.
