3SL/Cradle Videos – Subscribe and Request

Extra Videos

We want to increase the number of videos in our YouTube channel and we need your help. So please:

  1. Subscribe to the channel!
  2. Tell us what types of video would be most helpful, for example:
    • General demos of capabilities, such as traceability, using trees, view, or reviewing items
    • Demos of individual operations, such as capturing source documents or creating a query
    • Building a Cradle schema
    • Or something else!
  3. Tell us your preferred maximum length for a video, for example < 10, 5 or 2 minutes
  4. If English is not your first language:
    • Do you prefer a human voice or a computer-generated voice?
    • Is it helpful to also show text notes inside the video?

If you know some topics that you want to see in a video, tell us what they are!
Thank you for any help that you can provide, either as comments on this discussion, or by e-mails to me at: mark.walker@threesl.com

Wherever You Are

Local Location, Remote Location?

No matter where Alan is he can get to his project. This remote access could be through WorkBench or Web Access, both part of the Cradle suite.

If you have access to a browser you can configure your installation to allow remote access  to your projects enabling the most common functions to be performed from anywhere in the world.

For full power (offering all the requirements management software and systems engineering tools available), users access the same projects via the WorkBench application. Provided the network allows, a client installation of WorkBench can also access the CDS (Cradle Database Server) from around the globe, but a Citrix installation may be more desirable allowing remote access to a server / multi client installation.

The tool provided to web users is really the contents of web pages displayed in their browsers. These pages are created by the CWS from:

  • A set of HTML templates, at least one for each type of item in the database
  • A set of page designs supplied with the CWS
  • The items in your database

The user has full control of the contents of these HTML templates, e.g.:

  • What the web interface looks like
  • What facilities it provides
  • How these facilities are accessed
