~;
• Filter large document sets using a mix of standard and custom attributes. Browsable tags include file system metadata, like date or original filepath, as well as metadata data specific to individual file types.
~;
• Search document sets, using keyword tokens that identify responsive documents based on metadadata and/or content.
~;

Organise

Organise your data by extracting metadata, building indexes and adding your own custom tags.

Data Import

~;

Custom Tags

The ability to add custom tags is a particularly useful feature of the Zapplet system. Custom tags can include:

Linking Zapplets

Zapplets are often used on their own, but they can also be linked together. This means they can be used as:

~;
• Independent Zapplets, which are designed to be used as a stand-alone resource, in the same way as conventional apps. In database terminology, this is similar to a single table datbase.
~;
• Integrated Zapplets, which are like individual web pages that are combined together to create a complete dataset. In database terminology, each zapplet is like a separtae table in a larger datbase.
~;

Share

All Platforms and Devices

Zapplets are browser based, so they work on any device. This means:

~;
• The same URL is used to access data on a phone, table or computer.
  ~;
• Zapplets will run on any device that supports HTML5. There is no need for different versions for every operating system.
~;
• Zapplets are created and distributed via the Zenesi website. There is no need for an app store.
~;

Publishing Options

The creation and update of Zapplets can adopt a workflow that suita the application:

~;
• Live data, where updates are imediately available to the people using the zapplet.
~;
• Editions, where changes accumulate until a new version of the Zapplet is ready for release.
~;

Distribution Options

Distribution of Zapplets can be done using different mechanisms:~;

Permissions

~;
• Owner, gives full access to the Zapplet.
~;
• Administrator, gives permission to update any aspect of the Zapplet.
~;
• Metadata, gives permission to update metadata.
~;
• Content, gives permission to update content.
~;
• Read, gives permission to read.
~;

Update Options

Zapplets can be updated in a variety of ways, including:

~;
• Interactive updates, directly through the User Interface
~;
• Dynamic updates, using dedicated forms created for updating the Zapplet.
~;
• Data uploads, which either suplement or replace the existing data.

Engagement

Consumption - Zapplets support the sharing of information, from the publising of publically accessible 'wiki' sites through to the sharing of photograhs between friends.

Contribution - Support for the adhoc submission of data is built into the zapplet system, from making a booking to submitting content.

Curation - Organising existing information is made easier with the Zapplet system, including the collection and collation of data and the curation and annotation of existing content.

Creation - The Zapplet system provides a no-code environment for the creation of cloud hosted datbases. If you can use Excel, you can create an app..
