Altova Authentic Server lets business users create and edit Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents through familiar forms in a web browser. Templates designed in StyleVision control content presentation, while validation checks document structure. Central administration manages users and editing privileges, supporting structured authoring without installing software on individual client devices.

Browser-Based Content Authoring

Give business users a visual environment for creating and editing structured documents in their web browsers. The what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) interface presents XML as readable forms, allowing contributors to work with content without directly editing the underlying source code.

StyleVision Editing Templates

Use editing templates designed in StyleVision to define how XML content appears to contributors. Templates combine editable data with presentation elements, such as headings and table labels, to provide a consistent document layout and guide users through content entry.

Document Validation

Check XML documents from within the browser editor and review validation errors in a dedicated message area. Schema-based validation and business rules help contributors identify content that does not meet the requirements defined for their structured documents.

Centralized User Administration

Manage users and editing privileges through a central administration interface. Administrators control access to the authoring environment, while contributors access documents through their browsers, keeping account management and editing permissions under centralized control.

Structured Document Editing

Modify document content using controls such as combo boxes and check boxes. Toolbar commands let users move, duplicate, or delete table rows and XML elements, while undo and redo support revisions to both text and document structure.

Dynamic Data Presentation

Display calculations and charts defined by the editing template alongside document content. Templates can calculate totals or percentages and generate graphical representations that update as users edit the underlying data, providing context during content entry.

Shared Document Protection

Automatically lock an XML file for editing when another user has already opened the project. Other users cannot activate editing mode for that file, helping prevent overlapping changes while still allowing them to view the document.

Document Viewing and Printing

Show or hide XML markup to inspect document structure within the visual editor. Users can display element names when needed, reload content from the server, save their changes, and print the document using its template-defined presentation.

Flexible Server Deployment

Deploy the server on your own infrastructure or in the cloud and provide browser access to contributors. Central delivery removes the need to install and update editing software on individual devices and supports integration into existing content workflows.
