yuuvis® client is a reference implementation, browser-based working environment for the daily work with the yuuvis® Momentum system. The client enables the work with documents and metadata (Document Management System) and provides a basis for further modeled business applications.

Introduction

yuuvis® Momentum is a state-of-the-art tool for building content and information management solutions that supports a wide range of applications: from on-premises to private or public clouds and hybrid scenarios. The same native cloud technology is used everywhere.

yuuvis® Momentum client requires no installation and can be used on any workstation where a connection to the yuuvis® Momentum server can be established and where an up-to-date browser is available. It runs on stationary computers or notebooks with a Windows operating system as well as on mobile devices such as tablets or smartphones with an Android operating system.

This client is built as a reference implementation based on the published core and framework library. How to build your own client with the help of these libraries is documented here: Custom Client Build with Libraries

Roles for Users and Administrators

The following roles can be assigned to users of the yuuvis® client in order to manage their permissions. Also in the yuuvis® architect, these roles may have an impact on the availability of different functions.

The roles listed above are defined in a role set provided for yuuvis® Momentum client and yuuvis® architect. The core system of yuuvis® Momentum allows for the definition of custom role sets as well. But be aware that you will not be able to use yuuvis® architect or yuuvis® Momentum client. Instead, you can build your own custom client.

Manage Languages and Settings via Configuration Files

Use a custom configuration file to make settings for yuuvis® client as reference implementation.

Beginning with version 2020 Winter, the main settings for yuuvis® client as reference implementation can be customized for each tenant by users with the YUUVIS_SYSTEM_INTEGRATOR role. This article describes how you can use a custom configuration file to make settings for the reference client that are not changed when updating yuuvis® Momentum. An update can overwrite the default configuration file.

Note: After making changes, users must clear the browser cache and press F5 to reload the reference client.

Customizing the Main Configuration

With the installation of yuuvis® client as reference implementation, the default values for the main configuration of the settings are provided in the main.json file.

Users with the YUUVIS_SYSTEM_INTEGRATOR role can download the main.json file, modify it and upload it again in order to apply the new values for the main configuration. The settings will be applied to all users of the users' tenant.

To customize the main configuration, follow these steps:

• Log in to the reference client as a user with the YUUVIS_SYSTEM_INTEGRATOR role.
• Open the settings view and find the Main configuration entry in the Configuration section.
• Click Export standard in order to download the default main.json file.
• Modify the main.json file as described below.
• Click Import and select your modified main.json file for upload.
• Refresh the reference client in your browser. The user-customized settings will be applied.
• Click Export in order to download the applied user-customized main.json file.

The following code block shows the default main.json file defining the main configuration of the reference client after installation. In order to customize the main configuration, follow the steps above to download this default main.json file. You can now modify the file and upload it afterwards. The individual parameters and their possible values are listed and described in the table below.

Configuring Additional Client Languages

yuuvis® client as reference implementation is provided by default with German and English as the application languages. However, the client can be extended with custom language files.

Users with the YUUVIS_SYSTEM_INTEGRATOR role can download the <iso>.json file for any language, modify it and upload it again in order to apply the new values for the language configuration. The settings will be applied to all users of the users' tenant. You may change the keys on your own responsibility, but be aware that the standard documentation will not be available in your custom language.

To customize a language configuration, follow these steps:

• Log in to the reference client as a user with the YUUVIS_SYSTEM_INTEGRATOR role.
• Open the settings view and find the Main configuration entry in the Configuration section.
• Click Export standard in order to download the default main.json file.
• Open the main.json file and add the iso and label for your custom language in the languages section.
• Open the settings view and find the Language entries in the Configuration section.
• Click Export default in the corresponding row in order to download the default de.json or en.json file.
• Open the file locally, modify the values for the labels according to your language and save the file as <iso>.json with the iso code of your custom language.
• In the reference client, Import the modified main.json file with the additional custom language.
• Refresh the reference client in your browser. The custom language will appear in the settings view under Configuration.
• Click Import and select your custom language configuration file <iso>.json.
