infsoft CMS
The infsoft Content Management System (CMS) is the central tool for configuring and managing the content of the Workplace Experience application. It also serves as a backend for data entries used by other tools within the infsoft LocAware platform®.
The tool enables authorized users to intuitively adjust content in real time. This includes Points of Interest (POIs) as well as menu-based items such as events, news, room and workspace information, and booking configurations. Visual elements within the app can also be customized through the CMS.
Flexible Content Management
The infsoft CMS enables centralized management of a wide range of Points of Interest such as rooms, parking spaces, or locker resources. Menu items, tiles, and tabs can be individually defined and edited. Content can be maintained in multiple languages, including support for Unicode translation tables, and enriched with icons, descriptions, and booking details.
In addition, dynamic status indicators such as occupancy information can be created, and the visual representation on the map, including 2D/3D views, can be configured as needed.
Real-Time Publishing & Test Environment
Changes made within the infsoft CMS are initially stored in LocAware and can be reviewed prior to final publishing. To validate updates, clients have access to a dedicated test environment, allowing changes to be thoroughly reviewed before being transferred to the live system. This two-step publishing process ensures that only verified content goes live.
Like all tools within the infsoft LocAware platform®, the CMS follows a granular view concept. This allows interactions and access rights to be configured at the menu level for different user groups. Organizations can precisely control who is allowed to view, edit, or publish content. This editorial system gives clients full control over content management and approval workflows within the platform.
Efficient Content Management with Lists and Maps
The infsoft CMS offers an intuitive user interface for structured content editing – either via tabular lists or an interactive map view. Items such as Points of Interest (POIs) or Space IDs can be selected directly within the list view or on the map. A built-in measurement tool allows users to check distances between any two points with a simple click for precise spatial validation.
To maintain clarity even with large datasets, the CMS includes powerful filter, sort, and search functionalities. Table entries can be sorted by column values, filtered using specific criteria, and customized with configurable column views. Active filters and search terms are clearly visualized to keep users informed of any applied constraints.
The system also supports bulk editing, enabling users to update multiple entries simultaneously ideal for managing recurring elements such as categories, icons, or descriptions efficiently.
The interface layout is highly customizable. Users can toggle between list and map views or display both simultaneously using the integrated layout function. This creates a personalized working environment tailored to the individual use case and user preference.
Excel Export & Import
For convenient management of large data volumes, the infsoft CMS offers an Excel interface. All list elements such as Points of Interest, categories, or booking configurations can be fully exported in XLS format with a single click. The exported content can then be edited externally in Microsoft Excel.
Each CMS entry has a unique UID that is retained during export. This unique identifier allows changes to be automatically matched to the correct dataset upon reimport, ensuring existing entries are updated precisely without creating duplicates.
Users can choose to work with either a UID-based Excel file or a version with resolved references (e.g., readable room names instead of technical IDs). The reimport process is supported by an integrated validation menu that clearly lists all detected changes before applying them. This enables efficient and error-free execution of complex adjustments.
Structured Content Management
The infsoft CMS is organized into clearly defined menu sections, enabling systematic management of all content. The structure is tailored to the customer’s specific use cases and covers a wide range of information areas from defining content for the Workplace Experience App, displaying external line-counting data or SAP entries via interfaces, to maintaining events, news, and localization texts.
Linked content such as external pages or building structures with associated Space IDs can also be easily managed through dedicated menu options.
The menu navigation can be customized per user group using infsoft’s view concept, ensuring each user only sees functions and content relevant to their role ideal for role-based editorial workflows. Furthermore, the information structure is fully extendable at any time: new categories, data objects, or configuration elements can be added as needed without affecting existing content or processes.
Roles and Permissions
Visibility and editing rights within the infsoft CMS are managed through a finely granular roles and permissions system. For each user, access to specific menu items and content, as well as allowed actions (e.g., read, edit, publish), can be precisely defined. This is based on a view concept that enables targeted restriction or granting of functions according to roles, user groups, or organizational units.
For example, it can be specified that a certain editor is only allowed to maintain content for a specific floor or area, while an administrator has system-wide access to all content. This creates a secure, clear, and individually tailored working environment that supports both decentralized editorial workflows and centralized management scenarios.
