Inventu Viewer is unique in the web-based terminal emulation market, as it is the only HTML/Javascript product that includes a full-function, Javascript-based Macro Recording, Design and Playback feature.

 

WebFlow macros are actually object-oriented Javascript modules that are dynamically loaded and run by users from the server based on an integrated management interface.

 

For Users

 

For users, Macros can easily be authored at a simple Record-and-Playback level using Alt-R to start and Alt-R to finish...a few more steps and the Macro is ready to run again and again.  (See Using WebFlow Macros in Common Actions)

 

For Administrators

 

Webflow Macros can be configured and managed so that only selected users can Author macros or Edit existing macros.

 

For Developers / Technical Users

 

Webflow Macros have a plug-in architecture and an advanced drag-and-drop logic builder that can incorporate a variety of data sources and targets to provide ad-hoc, rapidly constructed host integration through the screen interface.
