Customer-Defined Features & Integration

No two customers are the same. Each has their own requirements for data, reporting and integration with other systems. OnePlace PLM can be readily customised through the use of user-defined custom fields and reporting, and can be integrated with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions and/or other systems that support Web Services, such as ordering, accounting, or forward planning systems. Integration into such systems is built on the principle that data should only need to be entered once and automatically updated in the second system.

• Custom fields, JavaScript and JQuery User defined fields, validations and keywords; Support for JavaScript and jQuery

• XML, Web Services and ERP Integration One-click XML export; Configurable Web Service calls so authorised users can post or retrieve data from other systems; Web Service interfaces for externals systems to call; support for XSLT transformations for mapping different interfaces between services
  

• Triggers User defined trigger actions can be fired either from a user action within the OnePlace application or from an external system via a Web Service call; Automate the creation of document sets; Set field values on specified documents; Set triggers to run once or multiple times
