Creating and Generating a Web Site
Every HOPEX product enables generation of a Web site from objects in the repository. This allows simple distribution of the content of the HOPEX repository via an Intranet. Users can consult the objects of a project (e.g.: processes) in the form of HTML pages.
As standard, you can create and generate a Web site from a Web site template that serves as a model. The pages are generated independently of each other, and the links between the repository objects automatically define the hypertext links (you need only click one of these links to pass from one page to another and navigate within the Web site).
To create and configure your own Web site, you must have the HOPEX Power Studio technical module. See the HOPEX Power Studio documentation.Web site creation is only available with HOPEX (Windows Front-End), but you can generate a Web site with HOPEX (Web Front-End).Creating a Web site from a Web site template
