Synthesis 6, our next generation intranet platform for architects and engineers, is now available.
While we have designed Synthesis 6 to continue helping AEC firms find, share, and manage knowledge, we have focused on doing so in a more simplified, intuitive, and cloud-based way.
You can look forward to:
Navigating your intranet more easily with the new mega menu, breadcrumb, and navigation block features
Building pages that are beautiful, fun to create, and easy to maintain with new image and document blocks, page templates, and drag-and-drop functionality
Authoring, organizing, and managing essential content with the new content outliner, community layouts, and guides
Managing large collections of knowledge with new grid layouts, saved views, and sorting, filtering, and grouping tools in our reimagined libraries and directories
Providing brand consistency by customizing colors, fonts, and logos with our new style and branding tools
Here are some of the features we’re most excited about, and we think you will be too!
Navigation > Mega Menu
The new mega menu feature makes it easy to quickly find what you’re looking for across the intranet.
Navigation > Breadcrumbs
The new breadcrumb feature shows you where you are at all times.
Navigation > Navigation Blocks
Navigation blocks use graphics, titles, and/or descriptions to connect users to internal and external resources.
Pages > Page Templates
Content creators can select one of our pre-designed page templates to get started on building a page quickly. Your firm can also create custom page templates specific to your firm’s needs.
Pages > Drafts
Create new intranet content in private with our drafts feature. Drafts are hidden from end users until the content creator is ready to publish.
Pages > Move
Easily relocate resources as your business changes.
Pages > Content Blocks
Content blocks provide a variety of options to help content creators build visually compelling pages.
Pages > Document and Video Blocks
Add a collection of documents or videos to your page using our blocks. You can choose between a variety of layouts and layout sizes.
Pages > Guides
Guides empower content creators to modernize handbooks and manuals into living resources for employees. Guides display a hierarchical structure on the right of every guide page, so employees can easily transition from section to section.
Libraries > Document and Video
Document and video libraries include auto-generated thumbnail previews, the ability to add custom metadata (i.e. event, topic, application), and use that metadata to sort, filter, and group resources.
Directories > Employees
Employee directories have been upgraded to include a grid layout, improved sorting, filtering, and grouping, saved views, and our new hover card.
Directories > Projects
Project directories now have a grid layout, more powerful sorting, filtering, and grouping, saved views, and an interactive project map.
Branding > Style Editor
Branding and style tools promote brand consistency by allowing your firm to customize the colors, fonts, and logos of your intranet.
