Control Panel (Cloud Modifications)

    Introduction

    With the upcoming re-launch of the 2010-focused cloud launch, it becomes necessary to review the 2010 functionality, especially in the control panel, to ensure the functionality is consistent with the expected user experiences as well as the technical functionality of the cloud infrastructure.

    Intended Audience

    This document is intended for MindTouch developers for the cloud release.

    Status

    Initial scoping by RoyK

    Functional Specification

    This table breaks down the functional pieces of the control panel into each screen and how they might be adapted to a cloud-only release.

    Assumptions

    • (To be validated): Primary purchasers of Cloud release are technical writers, who have little technical expertise and "just want to start authoring."

    Control Panel Screens

    Functional Screen Current Use Cases Changed Required
    Dashboard
    • Shows current license activation state
    • Additional information for cross-selling and links to manuals
    • Credits
    • Show current state of cloud instance
    • To consider: account management / upsells through admin panel? (limits writer's ability...)
    Dashboard » Demo Videos
    • Shows tutorial videos from Vimeo
    • Update video RSS feed
    Dashboard » Technical news
    • Shows technical blog posts (relating to upgrades/security fixes) posted on mindtouch.com blog with category "update"

    		 Tie-in to billing for an integrated experience for seat expansion. <10 users is a loosey zone, otherwise gotta expand and buy in 5 packs. Needs to distinguish between writers and non-writers.
