Package Screen Overview
The package screen overview provides the user with the ability to create objects. The objects are numerous and can be combined with any number of other objects. For instance, you can combine an SQL script to output information to an email and vice versa, to store information from an email into a database. There is a great deal of flexibility in the system.
Every package must have a starting point (Action on the left on the picture).
Starting Point
Joining Actions
Objects can be joined to other objects as shown here. This is achieved by simple “drag” and “drop” of the items from one to another. It is a very simple process.
Catch All Actions
Catch-All Actions provide a way of reducing the complexity of a package
