Data from SparkleFlow, e.g. for helpdesk or management purposes, can be displayed offsite by using Web module. To accomplish this, you define user rights to create subsets of available information. The number of user rights depends on the role performed by the user, for instance an administrator has considerably more user rights than a discovery engineer. These rights determine what type and how much of the available information the user is allowed to see, be it application data like manufacturer, licenses and contact information for the helpdesk or the hours’ tab for the administration, etc.
It's an easy way to provide your customers or internal users with insights into the status of your application packaging and/or software virtualisation project without having to installed SparkleFlow to access the proper information: Refresh rates can be scheduled as well as executed manually, which means that you will always have the most up-to-date information at your disposal. The layout of this Web module is fully customizable by means of templates. Any changes can be processed on the fly and be available with the next refresh. All information about the selected packages can be shown, be it package data, documents, application details, history and/or comments. To modify the Web Module you are required to use PHP combined with an Internet Service like IIS or Apache.
