organizations must be able to:• tap these new online resources and media…• wrap it into an overall brand experience, and…• adapt quickly to rapidly-evolving consumer expectations

The Customer Portal Studio
• What is the Customer Portal Studio?• A set of tools and technologies that enable you to modify the out of
the box page set or build entirely custom experiences on the web.
• What tools are available for use within the Customer Portal Studio?• WebDAV access to RightNow servers
– WebDAV is a file transfer protocol similar to FTP• Extensions to the Adobe Dreamweaver• Widget library pages that document standard and custom widgets• Development UI sandbox capabilities and site deployment tools
© 2008 RightNow Technologies, Inc. CONFIDENTIAL - SUBJECT TO CHANGE
The Customer Portal Studio/2
• Dreamweaver extension expands functionality in the Adobe product – allowing you to design and build content for a RightNow server, log into that server from Dreamweaver, and working directly with RightNow pages
RightNow toolbars and menus
WebDAV view of server files

The Customer Portal Studio /3
• Through Dreamweaver:• Designers can utilize high
fidelity design mode visualizations of their pages
• Developers can use code mode – which for the pages at least, is largely XML.
• Separation of presentation, business logic, and data layer coding within the widget makes it easier for developers to understand page structure and rapidly consume and extend the widget framework
© 2008 RightNow Technologies, Inc. CONFIDENTIAL - SUBJECT TO CHANGE
The Customer Portal Studio /4
• Changing page content is as easy as placement of a widget on a page.
• Customers are not constrained to the out- of-the-box pages – they can build entirely new pages and functionality very easily.

The Customer Portal Studio /5
• Page look-and-feel can be updated in seconds by applying new templates. • Layout, color, font, etc.
• Custom widgets can be quickly dropped on the page.

How Do Customers Participate?
• Easy – just create an 8.5 upgrade site. • The Customer portal Dreamweaver extension and toolset are
available from there. • Caveat– they cannot *deploy* the pages without approval
• The approval process will be managed through the incident channel
• Each request to deploy to production needs to be approved by Hosting/Dev so that they can first evaluate the impact on our Hosting pods
• The ability to promote to production, when granted, will not be available until the end of June, as we are waiting for Hosting changes to support the compliance process for the new price model

automatically through the one-click installer.
Benefits• Provides partners with a way to package and deliver custom
functionality that can be easily added to any implementation• RightNow Professional Services will also be able to leverage the add-
in framework as a way to package and deliver customizations• Since the add-ins are separate from RightNow code, there are no
upgrade issues (Pro-services customizations don’t upgrade today).
