Directories
All organizations hold a wealth of information within internal databases. Opening up such information within corporate websites or Intranets can be difficult, time consuming and expensive.
Directories enable the publication of any form of structured data either through entering the information manually within the Jadu Central or importing datasets that may be held within external systems or databases.
Map integrations allow datasets to be coupled with geospatial information where relevant.
You can add a Directory search to a Homepage using the Directory search widget
Managing directories
Directories are managed via the Publishing menu.
