Abstract: Described herein is a method, for managing creation and publication of a document in a documentation management system (DMS), that includes causing display of a first graphical user interface (GUI) on a first client device. The method includes authenticating a first user of the first client device, and causing display of an author view of a hierarchical document structure in a navigational pane of the first GUI. The method includes saving content received in an editor pane of the first GUI as a page in the DMS and associating the first user as an author of the page. The method includes generating a document entry displayed with a draft status indicator corresponding to the draft status of the page. The method includes causing display of a reader-view of the hierarchical document structure on a second GUI with the content of the page displayed in accordance with the draft status.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for applying a set of policy rules to network traffic. During operation, conditions specified in the set of policy rules can be evaluated, wherein each condition is a logical expression defined over a set of variables, and is evaluated by substituting values of the set of variables associated with the network traffic into the logical expression. Next, a subset of policy rules can be selected whose conditions evaluated as true. A highest precedence policy rule from the subset of policy rules can then be identified by applying a set of precedence rules to the subset of policy rules, wherein the set of precedence rules imposes a precedence order on the set of policy rules based on condition categories and condition specificities. Finally, an action that is specified in the highest precedence policy rule can be performed.
