When it comes to workflow automation, non-technical users need tools that are easy to use but still powerful enough to manage critical business processes. You can create seamless workflows without deep technical expertise. Whether you’re automating document approvals, HR onboarding, or invoice processing, you can configure and run workflows quickly and efficiently.

Key Features for Easy Workflow Creation:

  1. User-Friendly Workflow Setup
    Creating workflows is made simple through ECM Toolbox AppEnhancer’s workflow designer.

  2. Pre-Built Field Configurations
    Fields can be easily imported from ApplicationXtender or custom fields can be created directly in ECM Toolbox.

Advanced Workflow Customization for Programmers

While ECM Toolbox is user-friendly for non-technical users, it also offers advanced customization options for technology programmers. With features like iConditions, iActions, and integration capabilities, developers can create highly tailored workflows that suit specific business needs.

Key Features for Developers and IT Teams:

  1. iConditions and iActions
    Developers can implement custom iConditions (workflow triggers) and iActions (automated responses) using their own code. These customizable modules allow you to set specific business rules, such as routing high-value invoices directly to the CFO for approval. This flexibility lets IT teams integrate highly specific automation workflows that align with business goals.
  2. Integration with External Systems
    With AppEnhancer’s JavaScript and API support, developers can integrate external software systems, customize document views, and connect to external databases. This capability is essential for organizations that rely on third-party tools and systems for document processing.
  3. Real-Time Sync with ApplicationXtender
    AppEnhancer’s integration with ApplicationXtender ensures that field mappings and workflow rules are synced in real-time. This means that any updates made to workflows are reflected instantly in the document management system, reducing errors and improving efficiency.
  4. Parallel Workflow Capabilities
    AppEnhancer Workflow allows for parallel workflows, where multiple users can work on the same document simultaneously. This is crucial for organizations where documents need to be reviewed by multiple stakeholders across different departments.
  5. Customizable Workflow Events
    Programmers can create custom events like On Arrival, On Submit, and On Open, which trigger automated actions based on the document’s progress. These events streamline complex workflows, reducing manual interventions while ensuring that documents move smoothly through the system.

Real-World Use Cases: Combining Simplicity and Power

Advanced Customization for Finance Departments

For finance departments, programmers can set up iConditions to check invoice values and route high-value invoices to senior executives. External financial systems can be integrated via API to validate the data in real-time, ensuring accuracy and compliance throughout the process.
