  Making the Terminology Transition from 3.x

Most of the terminology in the next generation of Pro/INTRALINK is the same as Pro/INTRALINK 3.x, because it offers nearly all the 3.x capabilities. But some PRO/INTRALINK capabilities are new, have different names, or now have subtly different behaviors.

So where can you find a terminology Pro/INTRALINK “Rosetta stone” on what the new terminology means? Look in the back of the Getting Started with Pro/INTRALINK Guide and you’ll find:

· The Pro/INTRALINK Terminology table in the appendix

o It lists and describes terminology differences

· The Glossary

o It provides definitions of new terminology that is introduced.

Here is a sample of what you’ll find in the Pro/INTRALINK 8.0 Terminology appendix:

Here are a few sample definitions from The Glossary:

Product

to customers. Now the concept of a product is expanded to include the environment in which users collaborate to develop that end item.

This environment is known as the product context.

Library

A library provides a place for storing and providing

information, such as documents and parts.
