The new structure tree in the TIM Review Service ensures more clarity and productivity in the review with a simple entry point
The search function in the structure tree allows you to search for specific content and find it quickly, while showing and hiding the structure tree allows flexible adaptation to individual preferences.
In addition, opening and closing the substructures or subchapters makes navigation within the structure tree much easier and allows you to maintain an overview even with extensive collections of information. Targeting specific chapters is particularly useful for accessing relevant information directly without having to scroll through the structure tree for a long time.
- The simple integration of PIM data enables a more specific data output.
- All product information are structured according to the product hierarchy and are easy to find, which makes navigation easier.
- The ability to quickly find information from TIM and PIM at a glance is a time-saving solution.
- Supplementing the topic-based information collections from TIM with PIM data in various formats (HTML, PDF, iiRDS packages) expands the available information.
- The linking of TIM and PIM data via article master data using the intelligent information platform Sherlock® guarantees seamless integration.
