Configuring Entitlements

Canvas Technology provides an in-built entitlement framework that focuses on a configuration based definition of entitlement parameters. The Entitlement definition is layered as Product, Sub Product, and Function Codes. This nature of layering provides the ability to create reusable solution packages that can be targeted at Customer segment level or event at specific Customer level. Since all the Apps are also tied to the entitlement model, automatic targeting of Apps based on the entitlement profile falls in place.

With Canvas 19.1, you can create entitlements and map those to user roles and GCIF easily within Canvas Studio! Using simple configurations, you can create your own entitlements to serve the needs of your purposes and requirements. The created entitlements can be used in accordance with your requirements, while creating apps (widgets), workspaces and layouts (sub workspaces).
