Full user personalisation is available with Netcat WCM. Users and visitors to your sites are able to create a profile of their interests, to ensure they access the right information for them.

Web content can also be classified using flexible metadata. Using a combination of the visitor profile and content classification, Netcat enables authors and administrators to create a personal view or personal navigation.  This can take many forms including:

• Specific navigation path
• Special ‘home’ or contents page showing new content that matches the visitor profile
• Search functions that will find content that matches the visitor profile
• Delivery of relevant news or other pages in a ‘highlights’ area
• Relevant scrolling news
• Relevant quick links
• Latest news or information
• Users may create bookmarks (a list of favourite pages)
• Users are identified through their login or through cookies
  

This personalisation may be created for each individual visitor, or a special home page may be created that displays the special interests of a group of visitors.
