Wiki overview#

The Allegra wiki allows you to make documents accessible to many people and to edit them collaboratively. Wikis are suitable as

  • project documents

  • knowledge base

  • meeting minutes and agendas

Wiki documents can be exported to Word documents based on Word templates or to PDF documents via HTML templates.

To access the wiki, select the Wiki app. Select a different app to leave the wiki again.

Wiki with folders and documents#

The wiki is organized hierarchically. At the top level are the workspaces. Workspaces can contain phases (releases), folders and documents. Folders contain folders or documents, documents can contain document sections. Document sections can themselves contain further document sections.

The wiki context menu#

A document is a special kind of item type that is handled by the system in a special way. Items with an item type of this kind are, for example, normally not displayed in the item browser. Like any other item, a document has a number of standard properties such as author, last edit date and title.

You can switch to inline editing of a wiki document, so that only a selected section is edited, or edit the entire document as in a standard word processor. In full editing mode, you create new sections by formatting the section name with a heading format such as “Heading 2”, “Heading 3”, etc.

Wiki inline editing#

If you have many projects with many document folders and documents, it can be helpful to display only a subtree in the navigation. To do this, right-click the desired node and then select the “Focus” action. You can likewise deactivate the focus again.
