Dimensions
Of all the search and navigation features in CARA, the Dimensions are the most used by clients. The Dimensions are a unique hybrid of searching and navigating, allowing each user to specify up to 5 levels of attributes to use in order to build a dynamic tree that allows navigation in the same way as a folder – avoiding the need to run multiple searches.
DIMENSIONS Pick your attributes, then navigate as if it were a regular folder

Widgets
Other user interfaces allow you to see information related to a document, one pane at a time. The CARA widgets panel displays as many widgets as you want, populating them all from a single click on a document. In addition, no other application allows you to build your own widgets, displaying any information you want about a document (audit trail information, security settings, list of annotations – literally anything available in the repository. Need information pulled from another system? For example supplier address and phone numbers from an external database? Simply build a widget calling that information via a web service – integration of third party systems into the UI without any coding to the UI.
Choose from pre-existing or your own custom-built widgets – all displayed at once and containing right-click options

Email integration extensions In standard platforms, import of emails is restricted to importing as a specific document type, which means that a customer’s custom attributes are not available. In addition, the extraction of attributes is hard-coded. CARA extends this to allow mapping of email attributes to repository attributes, including extracting email content.
Once the emails are imported into CARA (via drag and drop), you can either access the attachments by viewing the email and opening the attachments from there, or by using the new Extract feature to extract attachments and automatically link them to the email as a Related Object.
