Intuitive GUI
The eNovator Navigation Wheel has been designed with an extensive amount of input and review from clients who expressed the concern that navigation is the primary barrier to adoption. All clients mandated that the developed solution be as intuitive as possible. The result, eNovator Navigational Wheel, meets and exceeds this wish. Deployment requires almost no training or at most minutes!. The Navigation Wheel contains a number of sections, thereby providing a "one stop navigation portal" to a number of user defined destinations from the one icon.

Access On Every Page
The eNovator Navigation Wheel is available on all pages, allowing the user to gain access no matter where they are in the solution. This accessibility enables the user to easily navigate throughout the solution and move quickly from one area to another. The Navigation Wheel, once installed is fully integrated into the Livelink toolbar.
Pop-Up Screen View
In order to make the eNovator Navigational Wheel personable to the user, it is completely configurable from a text perspective. Different colors, fonts and sizes can be chosen by the user depending on their personal tastes.
To ensure easy of use the Navigation Wheel has been designed as a Pop-Up view within the users current page. The Navigation Wheel is easily closed from the page through its collapse function.
Administrator Controlled
The in-house Livelink Administrator controls the configuration of the eNovator Navigation Wheels. The Navigation Wheels have 11 sections in total, 2 that are hard coded (search and home) and 9 that are configurable. The Administrator, working with users, determines the most commonly used workspaces and configures the 9 configurable sections to create Navigation Wheels for the user community.

Library of Wheels
Navigation Wheels can be set-up by the Administrator as a library based on the different groups, roles and personnel within the organization. Once created, the Administrator can set a default Navigational Wheel for all of the users. Users have the ability to change their default Wheel by choosing from the Library of Wheels.
Group Permission Based
The system supports the restriction of Navigation Wheels to specific Groups. Users who are members of a particular group will, by default, have a Navigation Wheel specific to them. This reduces the number of Navigation Wheels in the personal settings while making it easier for the Administrator to maintain the configuration. The Navigation Wheels are permission based, therefore, users who do not have access to specific areas will not get access through the wheel.
Navigation Issues Resolved
Almost immediately after deployment, standard issues associated with Navigation are resolved. Users no longer get lost, put documents in the wrong place, or complain about the complexity of the system configuration. This is of huge benefit not only to the organization but also the Administrators, who spend a large proportion of their time providing support to navigation related issues.
Training
Due to the intuitive and personal nature of the eNovator Navigation Wheel, it in turn makes it easier and quicker for users to get trained on the solution. Some estimates have put the reduction on training as much as 50%. This has obvious cost benefits, not only in terms of training but also the speed at which the business gains benefits from the solution.
User Adoption
User adoption issue tends to increase with the size of the deployment. It has been found that the use of the eNovator Navigation Wheel greatly enhances, in a very short period of time, the adoption of the solution.
Streamlined Process
The installation and deployment of the Navigation Wheel follows a proven and streamlined process. In two days, the Navigation Wheel will be installed, configured and awaiting deployment across the organization. The training of users is very straightforward with some clients using standard presentations or video training clips supplied by Kinematik. Training is supported by the intuitive nature of the eNovator Navigation Wheel feature itself.
