The Fundamentals of Elium
Elium is a platform in SaaS that you can access through a URL, and you can only connect to it by invitation from the platform administrator. Once connected to the platform, you become a user of the tool. The primary purpose of a user is to share articles. An article is Elium's term for posting content on the platform.
Elium is organized through spaces and space groups (Enterprise & Corporate functionality). When a user posts content on the platform, they must select a space. All members of a space have access to the content shared by users.
Users can also assign one or more keywords to content, referred to as tags. Tags enhance information retrieval during searches. All content posted on the platform is fully indexed in our search engine.
Structure of Elium
In Elium, there are three levels of downward navigation:
Space groups,
the spaces,
the space tabs.
This structure is defined by the platform administrator. It allows for the establishment of different access rights for users and organizes the content on the platform.
Definition of Elium's Key Concepts
Space: This is the physical location where content is shared. It can have varying degrees of access and visibility, as determined by the administrator.
Group [of spaces]: These are used to cluster spaces with similar uses or themes.
Category: This is a collection of tags from the same family. A category can include a list of suggestions and may be closed. Categories are defined by the system administrator of the platform.
Tag: A tag is a term or set of terms applied to content. It serves as an effective sorting and selection filter, facilitating access to relevant information. Tags are collective and transversal to spaces (with exceptions defined by the administrator), and they optimize global search across spaces. They provide a flat and dynamic structure for the platform, contrasting with the fixed and hierarchical structure of a folder tree. Tags can serve multiple purposes, such as indicating the nature of the content (e.g., competitive intelligence or confidential notes) and using a unified vocabulary to describe the subject of the content, among others.
