Original Press Release:
Cumulus 7.1 Caps a Summer of Successful Product Launches for Canto
Cumulus 7.1 offers significant improvements and new features to the
Cumulus 7.0 product line.
BERLIN, GERMANY, 17 OCT 2006 - Cumulus® 7.1, the latest version of
Canto's award-winning Digital Asset Management software, is available for
immediate download, Canto announced today.
Cumulus 7.1 brings product fixes and updates across the entire product line.
Cumulus users can now personalize Native Client workspace layouts to better
suit specific tasks. Users of the Web Access Clients will benefit from
powerful asset relationship management options previously available only in
the Native Client. All users will benefit from tighter feature parity between
the two clients.
Workflows benefit from enhanced client/manager approval options. Users
can set up trigger notifications that automatically email clients when files are
ready for review. In addition, Web-direct asset links can be copied from
within the Native and Web Access Clients for easy pasting into email and
other applications. When the recipient clicks the link, the asset is presented
for download via the user's preferred Web browser.
Improvements to the Cumulus Native Client include a category pane that can
be split to additionally show the selected asset's thumbnail, preview, metadata
and a calendar. Calendar dates are links that find and display assets cataloged
or modified on the date clicked. Once a collection window layout has
been configured with the panes and views a user prefers for certain tasks, the
setup can be saved for easy recall.
The Cumulus Web Access Clients have been updated to support split view
and asset relations options first introduced in the Cumulus 7 Native Client.
Performance is outstanding, even on slower Internet connections, making the
Web Access Clients-more than ever-the ideal choice for remote users.
On the back end, the Cumulus Server can now be mirrored to another Cumulus
Server for backup and Web Access Client load balancing. In addition,
user-created sets can now be exported and imported.
The initial release of Canto's Brand Management solution, BrandAssistant,
due Q4 2006, will be based on Cumulus 7.1, extending all benefits of the
update to users of that solution too.
Availability
The Cumulus 7.1 upgrade is available free of charge to Cumulus Workgroup
