Flow Archive
Archive UI for Flow Core
Flow Archive is a central and specialized user-interface of the Flow system. Designed and built specifically for editorial users, Flow Archive offers a wealth of editorial functions covering the entire workflow chain, from ingest, content management, project management, collaboration to publication and monetization. Naturally, this is based on complete database-management and media-processing run/automated through the separate Device & Workflow Manager module. This gives editorial users of the Flow Archive not just very extensive editorial features, but also means that even the most complex technical processing becomes easy-to-use (and largely happens “under the hood”).
Flexibility
The Flow Archive is modern, sleek, and compact to use. No two customers are the same–so Flow Archive is completely configurable, usage-rights can be set down to the last detail. It offers powerful features for any situation.
Intuitive
The Archive GUI is a browser-based view/operating tool of Flow Center. No installations are needed from the client side and the system will run with any (current) browser. The entire surface is built for easy drag & drop operability and quite intuitive.
