Wiki
This topic collection provides a general introduction about the Codebeamer wiki and its main features.
What is a Wiki?
A wiki is a collection of interconnected pages with a simple, text-based syntax for formatting. Wiki pages support hyperlinks to other pages. Wikis are also used as a knowledge-sharing tool that allow users to add, remove, or otherwise edit and change all content.

 | The Codebeamer wiki implementation includes many source code modules and ideas from the open source JSPWiki system. It uses the same wiki syntax, and many JSPWiki plugins were implemented and ported to Codebeamer. Information on the open source JSPWiki system is available from the following webpage: JSPWiki |
Codebeamer Wiki
The wiki implementation that is built-into Codebeamer is an enterprise-grade tool that helps users capture and manage knowledge in an open, scalable, secured, ,and controlled way. Interrelated artifacts, such as trackers, office or wiki documents, and tasks, can be structured to satisfy various user needs while allowing a large degree of artifact inter-connectedness.
The wiki can be customized by using the open-source Codebeamer plugins and if needed, by writing your own plugins to create a more effective work environment. For example, a plugin could be created to identify the dependency structure, a graph of artifact inter-relatedness, and so on.
The Codebeamer wiki not only allows, the flow of information-to be as democratic as a wiki system used by communities, but also offers the setup of structured document approval mechanisms to implement publication processes.
Efficient communication is a key factor in any successful development project, and the wiki can be used to collaborate and to prevent communication problems.
Each project has a separate wiki space accessible on the Wiki tab.
A wiki space consists of individual wiki pages that can be organized into a hierarchical structure, cross-referenced in various ways and browsed by navigating along the links.
Besides maintaining the content of wiki pages, users can also perform the following activities:
• Set up access rights.
• Set up approval workflows.
• Set up notification settings.
• Add comments.
• Add attachments.
• Check the page history and restore preceding versions of the content.
• List child pages.
• Change permissions based on roles or groups.
