Chaos desktop 5 – now connected to SharePoint

The software company Adtollo is now releasing a new major version of Chaos desktop. Document and project management is made simpler and smoother with its new connection to SharePoint.

Chaos desktop and the SharePoint module allows the user to check out documents and bring them home. When back at the office the user can upload the updated document. A feature that enables the user to get the work done online as well as offline.

The new version also contains a wizard for creating projects in SharePoint where site, document library, content type and columns are generated. The connection supports version control where new versions are created automatically in Chaos desktop according to pre-defined settings in SharePoint. It is easy to preview different versions of the documents in Chaos desktop and the valid settings are defined in the document library.

Synchronization

The connection enables synchronizing between Chaos desktop and SharePoint.

– The new function allows you to synchronize documents, document types and metadata types between local projects and SharePoint-libraries, says Mari Höijer, responsible for the product Chaos desktop at Adtollo.

Also, a new version is created automatically when editing, provided that the settings in SharePoint say so.

Document type and metadata – handled identically

The foundation of the latest developments was built when developers at Adtollo found out that Chaos desktop and SharePoint handles metadata almost identically.

– What we labeled document types and metadata in Chaos desktop is simply called content types and columns in SharePoint, explains Stefan Andersson, CEO at Adtollo. That fact made it possible to integrate the systems in a very smooth way.

This means that when columns are created in SharePoint they are given the same properties as pre-defined metadata in Chaos desktop. When editing one can also simultaneously follow the changes in SharePoint. The possibility also exists to cross-link metadata to corresponding columns in SharePoint.

Support and sales are handled through Cad-Q

Since 2012 the sale and support concerning Chaos desktop is taken over by Cad-Q. Adtollo still develops the software.
