Rollback management for Designer and Connect formats let you restore previous versions in the blink of an eye.

Sorting and filtering options on lists

With filtering and sorting, the long lists of several tenths or even hundreds of formats or workflows are no longer a problem.

The filters let you display only the desired objects.

When an error occurs in a workflow, another workflow can be called to execute a back-up process.

Prise en charge des zones "Outil / Remplacement Fichier" avec des flux XML

L'adaptation des zones de type "Outil" et sous type "Rempl. Fichier" pour les flux XML permet d'enrichir le document avec des informations provenant de simples fichiers textes en spécifiant le nom du fichier à utiliser et le numéro de ligne à extraire.
