3.2. Control Room Configuration

The Control Room consists of the following components:

  • Control Room Plugin is a Studio plugin, which enables users to manage projects, work with workflows, and collaborate by sharing content with other Studio users.

  • User Changes web application is a repository listener, which collects content modified by a user working with Studio. To this end, the modified content can be managed in the Control Room plugin as projects, shared and used in workflows, for example.

  • Extensions of the Workflow Server - Control Room comes with adapted workflow definitions that among other things persist finished workflows.

[Note]Note

Perform all configurations concerning the User Changes web application in the module user-changes-webapp in CoreMedia Blueprint before building or later on during deployment of the User Changes web application.

The Control Room stores and manages contents sets and finished workflows, commonly specified as collaboration data, by connecting to a MongoDB. Therefore, a MongoDB installation is necessary for utilizing CoreMedia Studio with the Control Room.

  • Deploying Control Room with MongoDB Database

    See [CoreMedia Operations Basics] on how to deploy Control Room with MongoDB.

  • Saving Control Room data in memory
