Fusion provides a set of tools and components that complement and enhance current and future investment in delivering FileNet core technology within EPC content management.

1. Fusion P8 for FileNet Overview
July 2009

2. Fusion – Expanding FileNet Capability
Fusion’s Goal –
 Expand the strengths and extendibility of FileNet for project content and business
process management
 Add the usability of the Sword Fusion user interface for project content and
process integration
 Provide a set of “Fusion for FileNet” tools and components that complement and
enhance current and future investment in delivering FileNet core technology
within EPC and Client content management requirements

3. Fusion Design Mandates
Deliver only Fusion functionality that builds on FileNet native API’s and product features –
 FileNet CE is the content management system, Fusion is the UI view and presentation
 FileNet PE is the BPM engine, Fusion is the UI view and presentation
 No custom components or abstracted interfaces for Fusion-built content or BPM functionality
 Role-based security configured completely within FileNet Security Model
 Employ only web technologies for broadest integration and flexibility
Enhance FileNet “fit-for-purpose” encapsulating core strengths of FileNet CE and PE
within broad MODULAR Fusion “Best Practice Solutions”

4. What does Fusion Deliver?
Fusion is an application developed and specifically tailored for engineering
work processes
 New feature rich user interface on FileNet foundation
 Brava! Document Review and Redline
 Bulk Import and Export
 CAD Connector for AutoCAD and MicroStation
 Bulk Printing and Plotting Application
 Document Renditions Application
 Much, much more capability

5. What is Fusion P8 for FileNet?
Fusion P8 is a Sword product
 http://www.sword-ctspace.com/section/view/336/fusion-for-ibm-filenet-p8-
Replacement for FileNet Workplace
Same business rules (revisions, security, check in/out, promotion) and
FileNet architecture as Workplace
Streamlined and easier-to-use interface; many time-saving methods

6. Similarities to FileNet Workplace
Managed documents
Same folder structure
Same taxonomy
Check In/Out model
Controlled versioning
Automatic numbering
Searching

7. Differences from FileNet Workplace
Tree structure
Fewer mouse clicks to create or work with documents
Brava viewer for previewing documents without downloading
Easy to access search
No limit on number of fields queried in order to narrow power
searches
Bulk commands (mass check out, mass check in, mass promote,
change a property of several documents at once)
Edit without having to find where you saved something

8. Types of Documents
Placeholders
Just like Workplace placeholders – just a way to reserve a spot in the system for an upcoming document.
Standard Documents
One set of files, one document number. Can be converted to the other document types as needed.
Logical Documents
A main document that has links to other documents in Fusion.
Static or Dynamic – that is, it can link to a specific version of another document or it can link to the most
recent version, depending on necessity.
An example is a transmittal – a document that is already in Fusion, but needs to be linked for common
purpose (such as a squad check).
Complex Documents
A Complex document consists of a number of files in one container. It has the same function as a .zip file:
it is a collection of documents stored in the same place under the same number. Unlike a .zip file, though,
you don’t have to download the entire file to your computer to find the one piece you were looking for.
An example would be a Word format cover sheet and several Excel files filled with calculations.

9. Business Rules, Revisions, Metadata
A document must be checked out to work on (not to view; this can
be done by anyone with the rights at any time) and checked back in
once the change is complete. The Edit functionality simplifies saving
and check in greatly.
Revisions still managed by projects, not automatically. Versioning
(major, minor) is independent of revision – it is still done
automatically on check in and out. Promotion rules also remain the
same.

10. Logging In
Leave the default server and
language as they show up.
The Google Toolbar pop-up
blocker must be disabled –
otherwise, the screen disappears
when you click Login.

12. Workspaces
Various places to view and work with data.
Two main workspaces for documents: Work in Progress and
Released.
My Selection allows for a specific subset of data to be stored for a
single session
My Searches keeps saved searches.
Export Templates is a place to determine what data is carried
along with an export task.

13. Work in Progress
Displays most recent versions of active project documents. This will
be your typical view.

14. Release Workspace
The Release workspace displays only the latest revision of the last
major version documents (E.g. 1.0, 2.0). This workspace is useful
when you are only concerned with the most recent and promoted
versions.

15. Workspaces-My Selection/Others
Through the Add/Copy option, can move a specific subset of
documents to the My Selection Workspace. This is a temporary
work area and will disappear once your session is over.
Export Templates only come into play if you need to use the
export function to move things to another document management
system.
My Searches is where you can access your saved searches.

16. Navigation
Tree structure
Click the [+] to expand, [-] to
contract
Click the folder to see contents (if
any exist within that folder)
•Object Store
 Project Folder
– Document Class
– Discipline
» Type

17. Navigation (cont’d)
Object Stores: how projects are grouped in the system. An object
store keeps the same type of properties and security for all
documents within. When it is called for, it is much easier and
effective to change an entire object store than a single project within
an object store.

18. Document Pane
The document pane shows either the results of a search or the
results of navigating to a certain place
Sorted by ECM Document Number, but you can choose any other
field; clicking again changes from ascending to descending.
Multiple documents can be selected using shift or control and
clicking for almost any command.

19. Info Panels
Any selected document will pop
the more info and quick info panes
up on the right.
Any of the links in More Info go
beneath the list of documents in the
Extended Document Pane.
Multiple choices can be made –
and each one stacks; for instance,
you can read the rendition file of an
older version from Version History.

20. Tab Bar
Search Results: The folder you’re currently in or the list of
documents for searching.
Details: The properties of a document.
Preview: View a document without needing to open an application
on your computer. Does not appear if document is a placeholder.
Contents: Only shows when document is logical or complex –
allows you to view the component pieces of a document.
Information: Can see the information page, which has help and
information about the system, from anywhere in Fusion.

21. Command Bar
Shows whenever a list of documents appears in the Document Pane.
Refresh – Allows you to see any new changes that may have not shown
automatically or done by another user.
Move/Copy – Allows you to move a document to My Selection. Does not
allow to move and/or copy documents from one place to another in the
Work in Progress or Released workspaces.
Change – Allows you to do things to documents and their metadata
View – Appears on any document with content. Will show the document or
the main file within a document (in the case of a logical or complex
document).
Print/Export – Allows you to export or print a list of selected documents or
export the documents to your hard drive.
Publish – Not used yet.
Page options – can use the navigation arrows to move between pages.

22. Search Function
Will search any selected folder and
any beneath it for documents
Metadata/property search. Does
not search the text of documents.
Can use wildcards (like *, ?, |, <, >)
Is a “starts with” search. A wildcard
must be used at the beginning to
look within fields if the field does not
start with search term.
Always visible in main workspaces
Links to power search, for any
property in the system

23. Information Page
The Information Page is immediately available every time you log
into Fusion. If you happen to need it again, you can select it at any
time using the Information tab and then go back to what you were
