Rocket Folio Builder
Rocket Folio Builder is for information specialists who organize, update and maintain collections of information as well as commercial publishers who create professional electronic information titles. An industrial-strength suite of tools, Rocket Folio Builder streamlines the process of converting, compiling and securing information by making it easy to collect information from diverse sources and file formats, combine it into a Rocket Folio infobase and manage user access rights associated with the information.

- Internet tools
- Security and commerce-enabling features

Flexibility and Automation in Building and Maintaining Infobases
- Flexible, automated project management. Rocket Folio Builder oversees the conversion of gigabytes of source files into Rocket Folio infobases, providing complete control over the build process from the first steps of data conversion through the final steps of indexing and compressing. Because the process of building indexed content varies from firm to firm, Rocket Folio Builder provides tools with both flexibility and automated control in mind. Once configured, the steps required to create a final product involving conversion, markup, compression, validation and indexing of your content can be saved and repeatedly executed with a single command.
- Versatile filters. Robust filters convert popular file formats directly to a Rocket Folio infobase format. Each filter preserves text markup, including tables, from the original files.
- Quality assurance. To provide confidence in your finished product, Rocket Folio Builder includes "Validator," a utility that checks infobase syntax, verifies links and generates a report about the contents of the infobase, detailing how styles, fields, levels, objects, and internal links are used.
Internet Tools
- Internet Tools. Rocket Folio Builder provides both URL and HTML file importers to convert documents, Web sites or collections of sites into Rocket Folio infobase format, while preserving all the relative links within the site. Web site or HTML import can be combined with other file types to create a portable single-source information collection. You can also create links to live Web sites directly in your infobase.
Security and Commerce-Enabling Features
- Rights management. Rocket Folio Builder lets information owners control who can access information, what they can do with it and how long they can use it. Rocket Folio Builder can generate passwords that unlock secure or expired data. Publishers use these features for information commerce, selling session-specific passwords to infobases or infobase subsections.
- Record-level security. Information can be secured to any level of granularity within an infobase. Thus, information can be distributed to multiple users, while preserving control over who can and cannot access various infobase subsections. Encryption technology from RSA Security protects secured information from unauthorized use.
- Usage metering. When tracking usage is important, meters built by a third-party developer allow information publishers to gauge relative popularity of document subsections or to bill users for information access.
Easy Distribution of Content
- Single file for easy distribution. Indexed rich text complete with hypertext markup, graphics, tables and other object types are all stored in a single file of up to four gigabytes in size.
- Data compression. To maximize storage capacity, Rocket Folio Builder compresses information, in many instances down to 60 percent of the original source data size, including the full text index. This helps infobases maximize storage resources whether they reside on a server, notebook computer or CD-ROM.
- Custom search forms. To accommodate the specialized needs associated with professional information, and to help publishers distinguish the functionality bundled with their packages from those of their competition, Rocket Folio Builder lets users create custom query dialogs for end users. Custom Boolean or Relevance Ranked search dialogs can be based on either the natural language or advanced query search syntax.
