Everyone works in different ways – so users in CARA can make choices and changes to the way CARA looks and works for them, and these are saved automatically and used wherever the user logs in, including mobile.

Users can build their own navigation tree (Dimensions), choosing what each level maps to.  Admins can set up more complex queries to display as navigable trees (SnapLists) – e.g. “Show me my department’s documents which expire in 30, 60, 90 days”.

With seven different ways to search, CARA provides quick ways for users to get their information; from instant type-ahead results through dynamic folders to filtered reports – never lose anything again.

CARA widgets show all you need to know about a document – choose from a core set (e.g. properties, workflows, thumbnails) or create your own. See multiple widgets at once and personalise them with drag & drop.

Define different views for different user groups or usage scenarios. Specify the properties, widgets, filters, colours, searches and other options, allowing users to work in the way that best supports their processes.

Not all users need all features. Occasional users can log in directly to a single Inbox view, or a company SOP search portal, or an external contributor upload site, through simple configuration.

Don’t let your metadata go to waste – use it for reporting on project progress, metrics and more.  Show the results as tables, charts or graphs, and export it all to Excel.

CARA provides access to all the core features of your underlying system, while offering extensions and improvements to many, such as virtual documents and workflows.

CARA has a rich set of configurations, allowing the setup of use cases from SOPs to Media Marketing to Government or Engineering systems.  Unlike systems that are only configurable – CARA can be fully customised – add any menu item, custom screen and define the processing (queries, API, server method, RESTful web service, JavaScript). These are packaged in our unique Configurable Customization wrapper to ensure one-click transport between environments and future upgradeability without the need for re-coding.

Third party applications can make use of the CARA REST web services to work with CARA.
