Initial Module progressionForums

In order of importance based on the needs of succeeding modules.Sidebar functionality should be tied in along the way, where appropriate. CURRENT 1. General page functionality. While the ‘dressing’ isn’t always initially necessary, providing this page as complete as possible is. The General page will represent a majority of the core field name call-ups and by giving this some finish we will set the CSS /Java tone for the rest of the site. 2. Search/Advanced Search/Saved Search functionality. Many modules will require a specific or set of specific searches to be done in order to execute their function. By establishing a robust search engine, capable of both dbase-wide and specific field searches, XLsuite will be better prepared for all future modules.Saved searches will basically double as reporting creation. 3. Expanded column list view. The third column is a great asset to certain pages; on many others three’s a crowd. Most of the views that form primary 2+3 column list pages (Contact List, Search, Content, Forums, etc.) can be implemented quickly (because they share similar CSS /Ruby functionality). These lists provide the majority of “jump-off” places into individual record pages. A listed item selection process would be preferable add-in here as well. 3.5 Forums. 4. Sign-up, domain control, site management and permission management. Creating and maintaining an account in Xlsuite. With the home page, CRM , list pages, FORUMS and email functional people can/should now sign-up. group permissions and group management included. 4.5 Contact Import FUTURE Email. Basic email functionality for both receiving and sending emails will be integral to many future modules. Diversion of inbox to Column 1, Mass mailing should be be built-in. Inbox and partial History can be tied to Column 1. Digital Assets management. Attaching outside files or storing files on Xlsuite servers. Should include one of the precursors to Content, Link/RSS management. It would be a bonus if it has RSS —>Digital Asset Management capability. Stress file and content management. Content. Basic CMS interaction, page and content creation. Front-end junk needs a face, and now we have all the initial pieces ready to tie into it. Auto-Responder. Sequential or otherwise. Cascading Category System. User defined, multi-tiered item layering system, to identify and hold parent/child relationships. Will provide the structure for parent/child relationships throughout the site. Catalog. Products and Product Categories including promotional elements. RSS plus standard catalog/listing view display. Planner. Calendar, project planner, task planner. basically a very stripped down smRty. Quick Entry. Major pieces are in place to develop the parser/inputs needed to tie this in.
