Enhancement Modules 

Prefiller Module 

Our Prefiller Module is an extension for the Cumulus Client that makes entering metadata much easier! Our module replaces the default Prefiller by Canto. It is extremely convenient while offering a great degree of flexibility as well as numerous entry checks.

By means of a simple dialog, our module guides users through the process of entering metadata. One click allows you to transfer your settings to other records as well. No worries: it is also possible to change individual values once they have been transferred. Your workflow has never been faster or easier.

Numerous entry checks prevent errors. For example, it is not possible to enter letters into a numeric field. In the case of string list fields, you will be offered drop down menues for selecting the values, for Boolean fields there will be checkboxes. Individual fields can be set as mandatory fields. That way, compliance with your workflow is guaranteed.

The entry masks for users are based on templates. For these, we utilize time-tested meta-data templates by Cumulus. Thus, you (or your administrators) do not have to learn any extra work steps. Another bonus is that the usage of individual templates can be linked to certain existing user rights effortlessly.

The creation of meta-data templates is extremely flexible. You can design various templates and select any fields for doing so. You can offer users the templates for selection or link the latter to certain user rights and then assign them automatically. A number of preset preferences are possible.

Last but not least, the Prefiller Module stands out because the administrator can switch it on or off as soon as the business processes require it.
