The first piece of our full Workflow Automation application due out later this year, Work Queue provides the ability to add items to a person or teams work queue manually or automatically through software API’s. Review and work Work Queue items based on any combination of fields such as type, priority or date. Another new service released with Version 6, the Job Monitor application provides the ability to schedule or submit jobs to run on a selected server as a background service. This is particularly useful for long running batch type jobs, jobs that need to be set to run on a particular schedule or jobs that need to be offloaded onto a specific server. Jobs may be submitted manually by person or automatically from virtually anywhere through software APIs. Job Monitors run as a background services on a server and process jobs as they are submitted to the Job Queue. Authorized users can monitor, pause and cancel Jobs as needed. Working smarter, Accelerator gets the job done where and when you need it. Along with all of the new features in Accelerator Version 6, we have also added further integration with third-party controls to make it even faster and easier to plug them into your systems. There are a vast array of controls available that can be used to create very stunning and innovative user interfaces. Find what works for you and drop it in. As an example, if you need to go beyond our standard grid control, then plug in the RadGridView from Telerik to get built in functionality for grouping with aggregate functions. Need Advanced charting, plug in the Telerik’s RadChart. Accelerator for .NET Version 6.0 continues to build on the existing legacy of developing more, developing better and developing faster. The Accelerator allows for a range of options, from reusing code while building a rich user interface, to completely rebuilding systems, and everything in between.
