IMAGE MANAGER

Top  Previous  Next

The UnForm 10 Image Manager is a new component designed to replace the former Windows-only Image Manager component from previous releases.  The new Image Manager is browser-based for its user interface.  It runs all jobs at the UnForm server, providing significant performance benefits and the ability to run jobs automatically without user intervention.  There are other powerful enhancements, such as:

 

Better multi-page image support, with multi-page zones and programmatic page manipulation

Custom fields and parameters built into jobs

Extensive and customizable filtering and validation functionality

Lookups from both ODBC and other external services, such as REST API interfaces

Integrated line item detail via grid management in both code and user input, with programmatic grid formatting and manipulation

Common scripting language with other UnForm components

Full access to all library management and other built-in UnForm objects

 

The former Image Manager, now called the UnForm Legacy Image Manager, is still available with UnForm 10, though the publisher plans no further enhancements to it and encourages all new projects to be designed in the new Image Manager.
