LightSWITCH 08 Update 1

LightSWITCH takes away the repetitive tasks associated with receiving and sorting files. It automatically downloads files from one or more FTP servers, receives them as email attachments or handles hot folders. In a very flexible way files can then be sorted into different folders so that they are ready for processing.

Whenever needed, notification emails are sent to your customer service representatives or even directly back to the customers. LightSWITCH can even deliver files through email or FTP to the next step in the workflow.

All this functionality is driven by the visual flow editor that is the core of all SWITCH products. The Flow Wizard makes the task of creating flows as easy as answering a number of uncomplicated questions, while the full power of the visual editor can be used after the Flow Wizard is finished to make adjustments or expand the flow.

Throughout LightSWITCH, variables referring to different properties of a job and its embedded metadata can be used to dynamically customize how jobs are sorted and how tools act on them. That makes it possible to customize the subject of a sent email so that the name of the job is added exactly where needed or to sort a job based on an embedded XMP field.
