Many Channels. Individual Needs.
Print, Tablet and Web: The Unique Multichannel Workflow Concept
vjoon K4 version 6 allows content to be created and directed to as many output channels as needed, such as print, Web, digital editions, mobile devices, syndication and multiple languages. Each object workflow can have one or more output channels defined, with each output channel having its own workflow and tasks.
A vjoon K4 user can select one or more output channels at the start of the workflow for an object, or, at the appropriate time, can search for a particular object and select the desired additional channel(s). vjoon K4 supports publishing to multiple channels from a single source file as well as from replicas of source files that are managed by the system. When source files are replicated for specific channels, vjoon K4 also keeps links among the replicated objects, so users can keep track of any changes made to the object in other channels. No matter what strategy a publisher follows – digital-first, print-first or a mixture of both – vjoon K4 provides a common platform that improves efficiency without compromising the flexibility to adapt to emerging digital outlets.
vjoon's unique multi-channel workflow concept has the advantage of letting publishers create and enrich content according to the requirements of the individual output channel and still have all videos, pictures, articles and layouts centrally managed and retrievable within vjoon K4. In vjoon K4, content is not simply reused for different channels. Instead, it is adapted to the different demands of specific media, including Web sites, print publications and tablets.
Designs, Text and layout variants
vjoon K4 allows you to create alternative designs for layouts or for variants of layouts. Layout designs are used to create multiple drafts of the same layout – e.g. alternative cover pages – during production process. At the end of the production one design is selected for final production.
Beside designs vjoon K4 allows you to work with variants to create variations of a layout's content or the layout itself. You can create variants to maintain different variations of objects placed in layouts, for example multiple languages or different picture resolutions. Layout variants can be used to manage multiple page geometries which might be due to different text lengths resulting from the different languages. Each variant can have different workflows and output channels. However, all variants are used for production, reflecting different page layouts or content. Create any number of text variants for multilingual brochures, diverse tablet editions, different regional editions or various packaging information.
