Introducing Jentla Action

Jentla Action is different. It is agile and it puts business needs first.

Jentla Action is different to any other system: it is a forms builder and workflow, a content capture and redisplay tool, a rapid application development tool and it has Jentla's full multisite workflow, approval process and security at its core. (Image showing features)

In Jentla Action you build your applications by building the forms that make up the entry and display of information.

The power of Jentla Action is that you only need to create one form. This will then work for viewing content publicly, users making edits and also any admin tasks. The form is created right in Jentla Action and does not require a programmer to edit a template file or write code. It allows you to work with your forms and business applications in the same way as the content on your website - through aweb-based CMS.

...It never stops there though, does it? If you need to make changes to you form of fields or create a more complex process, simply edit the form you've already created. If it all goes wrong, you can go back to a previous version.

Other Features

Case Studies

Council Complaints System

Flexible Development

Many councils want to be more responsive and agile with how they deal with complaints and support their community. Jentla Action enables new online processes to be created and grow as the needs and useful ness changes.

Configuration Management Database

Complex forms

A CMDB (Configuration Management Database) is a repository of information to support infrastructureand asset management of network devices. A CMDB involves a very complex forms process involving various forms states, data storageand presentation, each with specifically designated user roles.

TV Station Competitions and Polls

Fast Deployment

If you have a large consumer-focussed site, running competitions and polls for users, you need a flexible forms system that can easily accommodate different requirements and can be fully multi-site aware to simplify management.

Comparison to other systems

Jentla Action has a number of unique features which extend the possibilities of a forms and applications tool:

Field data collected in the front end of websites can be converted to CMS user information making it possible for non-IT staff to add and modify publisher’s rights in the CMS without accessing the admin interface.
Field data collected in a form can be used in other Jentla Action applications, for example, user entries to competitions via a form can be selectively redisplayed in other sections of the site advertising the competition.
Jentla Action forms are natively part of articles and are built inside the HTML editor making it possible to add complex forms and applications very fluidly with no coding required.
There is a wide array of available actions including multiple email notifications, workflow input and output, content publication, data building, user registration/maintenance etc.
It's possible to publish to one or more sites and site categories in one click and by integration with IBM’s Cast Iron connectivity can be established easily with external systems.
