Generating a Web Site
Every HOPEX product enables generation of a Web site from objects of 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.
*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 Windows Front-End, but you can generate a Web site with Web Front-End.
