Phraseanet main features

  • UPLOADING DOCUMENTS

Transfer documents from a standard web browser : select files, a destination collection, reorder documents, send to server. The quarantine isolates duplicates, new versions of an existing file or non-compliant files (eligibility criteria can be defined). Processes make all the necessary under resolutions, others list and extract metadata (IPTC, XMP, Exif, ID3, MP3, PDF…).

  • MANAGING DOCUMENTS

Phraseanet relies on the Elastic search engine and provides a link to full text, thesaurus searches, and categorize and filter results with facets. A detailed view in order to see the description, modification history and downloads, popularity, list of baskets and stories where a document belongs. With version 4.1, we’ve added a new search feature: geolocation!

General-Production

In the Production interface, it is possible to add documents to a basket, make a story or web galleries, batch indexing documents, manage the business fields, create indexing files templates…

Finally, export:  local download in various resolutions available according to the user’s rights, email sending a link to download the document with a validity period, transfer to an FTP server…

It can also be used to request feedback for assets, then viewable in Lightbox: send a link allowing users to validate a selection, annotate, view the choices made by others, be notified by email and receive an internal notification of the feedback.

  • PUBLISH

Phraseanet is also a tool to publish a Parade customer site, set up publishing workflows, send selection of documents to a list of users, send documents to social networks, use the URLs to broadcast content anywhere.

  • ADMINISTRATION

Create databases and collections, define documentary structure and standards, language labels, link the fields to the thesaurus…  You can also setup the under resolutions for the documents, process and workflow tasks.  Manage the users’ rights and subscriptions requests.
