RapidocsWeb

Introduction

RapidocsWeb is the fourth generation of Rapidocs® products and represents the culmination of years of work to develop a fully integrated DHTML web-client.

Users simply open the document in their browser and answer the questions as if they were using any other Rapidocs client. The document draft is shown changing as they proceed and context sensitive help, as well as guidance notes, can be called upon at any time.

Deploying a Solution with RapidocsWeb

As with all Rapidocs® technology, the first step to deploying a RapidocsWeb solution is to author one or more templates using one of the authoring tools. Once the templates are complete they are typically uploaded to Epoq's content management system (TEAMS) in readiness to be served to the customer.

Rapidocs templates may then be compiled and stored in XML format, and a Rapidocs server engine (the 'Server Assembler') converts this to XHTML which can then be interpreted by the user's browser. Data is passed between client and server using AJAX communications which means that the end-user perceives minimal page loading or browser refresh when saving or loading their document.

The user may choose to save their answers at any point and return to them later if they wish. The answers are then saved to a server and are combined with the template from which the XHTML file was originally built, to create the completed document. This may then be downloaded as a Word or PDF file if the user wishes to save and/or print it.

Applications

RapidocsWeb is the core technology underpinning most of Epoq's legal website offerings. In particular, the Epoq Legal Engine ('ELE') is built around it. All MyLawyer partner websites as well as the central MyLawyer site are dependant on this technology.
